When we walk out on the pier near our house, there are usually 3 or 4 Dhows moored along side the quay. The Dhow is a traditional sailing vessel, with a very distinctive shape. Today these dhows have motors. In the photo below you can see the stern of a dhow. What looks like a barrel hanging our the back end, is the outhouse!
I thought I would show you some of the activities we see on various afternoons. Below the fishermen and hauling up and folding their nets to be stored on board.
Hanging out the wash, and draining the bilge?
This afternoon, all the other fishing dhows are out on the calm sea. This was the only dhow left in the port.
