    • There are now very few boats sailing with the ancient so called Latin sail that was used around the whole Mediterranean for centuries. It has almost disappeared now from the Tunisian coasts and I was very lucky to spot one. I saw it from the road and it was far away. Luckily, it does not sail fast and I could drive into mud trails to get closer to the coast and get this photo.

     I always enjoy your Tunisian pages, Jean-Louis, this was no exception. Love the photo of the boat with the old Latin sail, you were lucky to find it.    		starship Tue Jun 12, 2007 18:03 UTC
