Hulhangu monsoon · nakaiy 27 of 27
Dosa.
15 November – 27 November. The lagoon calms and the light sharpens toward Iruvai.
The last nakaiy of Hulhangu; the north-east wind is on its way. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Dosa for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: the lagoon calms and the light sharpens toward Iruvai. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
