The Dhow. An absolutely mesmerizing vessel. Once used as a trading vessel, traveling to foreign ports in the winter and back home in the summer, the dhow is still used for transport of people and goods along the coast of Zanzibar. The triangular sail is truly eye-catching. And, when the wind blows, the sail stretches towards the water, never getting wet. My goal: to travel on a dhow someday.

The dhow looks good. I would certainly like to try it too. What do you do if there is no wind? It does not seem to have oars. Maybe you do like people did in the old days, just enjoy the calm and wait.
