EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional boat racing off the picturesque Lamu Island in Kenya. The image showcases a fleet of majestic dhows gracefully sailing through the crystal-clear waters of the Lamu Channel, creating a breathtaking spectacle for all who witness it. Dhows, also known as Daus, are wooden sailing ships that have become synonymous with the East African coast. While this term is colloquially used to describe these vessels by visitors, it's important to note that true dhows are much larger and designed for oceanic voyages. In contrast, the smaller Jahazi boats and medium-sized crafts seen here participate in thrilling boat races. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of competition as these magnificent boats compete against each other with their sails billowing in the wind. The skillful maneuvering and teamwork required to navigate these traditional wooden boats adds an element of excitement and anticipation to every race. Lamu Island serves as an idyllic backdrop for this exhilarating event, with its pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage adding depth to this already stunning scene. As one gazes upon this image captured by Nigel Pavitt from Discover Images by AWL, they can almost feel themselves transported into a world where time stands still and tradition meets adventure on Africa's enchanting coastline.
