Leave from the village, eat where almost nobody eats
A day out to a small, little-visited islet. You choose the boat — a pirogue, or the glass-bottom boat if you would rather watch the coral pass underneath you — and you choose the lunch: Mauritian curry or barbecued fish, cooked on the island.

A wooden boat, a village jetty, and no schedule to speak of
This is not a polished excursion and it is not meant to be. You step into a wooden pirogue at La Gaulette, the engine putters, and you go where the fishermen go — along the mangroves, past the moorings, out to the edge of the seagrass.

Canvas, wind, and the old way of crossing a bay
On the south-east coast a handful of families still sail the traditional pirogue. We spend a day with them: a crossing under sail, an anchorage off a quiet islet, and lunch ashore.
