Think that the dhow was due to a port call for participating in a festival. Anyhow a very special one, because this type of vessel hasn't seen that much in our area.
Very good picture again Christian.

Absolutely a gorgeous ship and lighting, Now with the sails in full won't the ship be moving. I know not much about boats
