The Ocean and the Dhow Mariner
Narrated by Mzee Athman
There was once a young mariner who learned to respect the tides and winds of the Lamu Archipelago. The ocean is like a close companion; it feeds you and protects you, provided you navigate it with caution and wisdom. When the Kaskazi winds begin to blow, the dhow crew must know how to pull the sails.
