The eastern sun rises over this nearly silent seascape. Short waves break at the top of the water line. This entire stretch of visible Indian Ocean is a natural aquarium merely a few feet deep as far as the eye can see. Within hours, the tide recedes, the ancient-looking dhow boat lies on its side, and the seabed becomes walkable. For this waking moment, all is right, peaceful, and calm.
