Left Antsiranana, ahead of us was the feared rounding of Cap d'Ambre. All the fear-mongering was unjustified, and even though the rollers were easily 4-6 meters high it's a downwind leg fast and pleasant. Rounded the Cape the sea went smooth with the settled winds prevailing all around Madagascar. The sea went smooth and teeming with life, but it was the way leading up to it that was the real treat: hundreds of whales cavorting in the cobalt blue sea.

| We had a near collision with a whale charging right into us |
 |
| I could have shot one hundred of these sequences, but this one was possible thanks to Ken's 300mm zoom |

| Ken got a chocolate cake for his thousandth mile |

| All the whales you can imagine in one day around Cap d'Ambre |
 |
| She was beautiful. |
 |
| Nearing Cap D'Ambre: desertic, desolate, lunar and absolutely stunning. |

| We never understood whether they wanted to sell us a parrot...they sure liked our candies! |

A tooth (plural teeth) is a cheap, calcified, whitish build found in the jaws (or mouths) of innumerable vertebrates and used to ease up down food. Some animals, particularly carnivores, also take teeth for hunting or instead of defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered by means of gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.
The ordinary structure of teeth is similar across the vertebrates, although there is of distinction modifying in their form and position. The teeth of mammals have profound roots, and this figure is also initiate in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, how, the teeth are partial to to the outer surface of the bone, while in lizards they are fastened to the inner come up of the jaw by the same side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are joined beside tough ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that form the jaw.
