| Taillées en bloc dans un tronc de manguier, les pirogues de Mayotte n'ont pas la finesse de celles de Madagascar mais ont porté et portent encore un peu les pêcheurs dans le lagon. Certes elles doivent leur utilisation fréquentes à un lagon qui empêchent la mer de se former de façon océanique.Mais le lagon de Mayotte n'est pas un lac non plus, et il faut un sacré courage parfois religieux pour prendre la mer à bord de ces embarcations à balancier unique. Avec le temps, les moteurs sont arrivés, les barques en fibres avec, et désormais la pêche dite "au large" n'est plus guère une activité principale pour les pirogues. Une petite pêche au calamar le soir, une pêche au poisson de roche par beau temps ou simplement pour fuir sa femme après une dispute (!), les pirogues continuent à être utilisées ! |
Cut into a block in a mango tree trunk, the canoes of Mayotte do not have the finesse of those of Madagascar but carried and carry still a little fishermen in the lagoon. Of course, they are often used because a lagoon prevents the sea from forming in an oceanic way.But the lagoon of Mayotte is not a lake either, and it takes a certain courage sometimes religious to take to the sea on board these single-beam boats. Over time, the engines have arrived, the fibre boats with, and now the so-called "offshore" fishing is hardly a main activity for pirogues. A small fishing for squid in the evening, a fishing for rock fish in good weather or simply to escape his wife after an argument (!), the pirogues continue to be used! |
