Air transporter

The boat is small enough to be handled by Ali,
single handedly.
It is sturdy, functional, minimal, highly aerodynamic and has a carrying capacity of eight,
with room for cargo and provisions.

Freedom.
From fuel, pollution and traffic congestion.

He makes numerous trips a day, to the neighbouring islands
for various purposes.
Work, shopping, fishing, fun or medical.

Ali, like many islanders is a true captain.

He is many in one.
He is aware of the wind direction, wind speed, current movement, boat bouyancy,
sail height and angle, tide times, wave formation, sea depth, coral clusters and . . .
has a hard wired 'GPS' in his brain.

He supports a family of Seven.
Feeding, housing, educating and recreation.

Community spirit is inbuilt within the islanders.
They rely on each other and can survive for long periods without money or
modern day conveniences.

Ali is happy.

Ali WAS happy. That is, until recently on a trip to a nearby island,
he discoverd . . . cable TV!

Life is not the same anymore!

Story coming.
