Traditions of the Luo people: the boats"La leo litende leo" - "Do today what is to do today" (Swahili proverb)

The dhow (in arabic داو dāw), the traditional triangular sail boat, is very common in Kenya and descended directly from traditional Arab boats with which the Luo perform the activities of fishing along the coast. For thousands of years sailing the seas and are called by the English term "dhow", but actually "dau" in Swahili language means boat or ship.
The African dhows are perfectly triangular sail, don't have cabins: they are the local boats to transport the merchandise, the goods or the passengers, may have varying sizes and are normally open, like a large goiter. The typical one don't have the motor and are operated with long poles pushed by hand, in the absence of wind and maneuvering in channels and ports.
