‘Ja, ja, it sounds like you’re having a ball and all, but stick to the topic,’ said Johan down the crackly line from Johannesburg. ‘It’s all very well doing tons of research, but you’re not writing a fucking PhD.’

‘No sure, I hear you,’ said Paul. ‘It’s just that things are pretty fascinating and I’ve uncovered so much good material. Like those sewn boats you mentioned —’

‘Don’t go chasing stuff that isn’t going to make it into the movie. Listen, I think it’s time you moved to that guesthouse, like we discussed. The place we gonna put the crew up: Ki-something-or-other.’

‘Kijani.’

‘Ja, that’s the one. How’s your budget?’

‘Still okay, although the dhow to Lamu cost a bit.’

‘Remember, no wine, women and how’s your father. Keep the receipts.’

After speaking to Johan, Paul phoned Kijani and booked a room. The guesthouse lay three kilometres southeast of town on the beach in Shela. Johan wanted him to check out the accommodation, negotiate a good deal for the crew, arrange for meals at irregular hours, make sure there was a quiet room to review footage and the like. Paul had a last meal with the Dutch, although he’d be seeing them again: most days they visited Shela beach. Then he packed his bags and ordered a dhow taxi for the following morning.
