    1. Thank you Jeffree. I sailed on these Dhows a lot and this was the only time I saw this happen. He was old, all muscle and sinew. It seemed as he had somehow become completely one with the wind and sea.

  3. poem for the picture:



    dhow

    right angles
    to the turning world

    taut sails
    horizon random

    the sea is adzed
    in hull and plank

    just one hand
    and breeze comes steady

    how fish full
    will this passage be?
