You many remember that the Sea of Zanj, better known these days as the Indian Ocean, was the home ground of Sinbad the Sailor.---***On this sea the Great Mogul used to send his galleons to Egypt laden with the wealth of the East, only to be preyed upon by pirates who put Blackbeard and Morgan in the kindergarten class. Authentic tales of buried treasure abound and ancient cannons can still be seen at the bottom of lagoons. ---***They are the last of the unspoilt coral islands of your dreams.'
