It is about 6pm and Rashid Gerald is lying on the sand in the shade of a coconut palm, relaxed. He is enjoying the full frontage of Kenyatta beach in Mombasa on Kenya’s coast. As I approach him, his eyes are fixed on me.
“Do you want a floater?” he asks. I politely decline and proceed to sit by his side. While I sample some cowrie shells tucked by the floaters and beach costumes which he hires out, we strike a conversation.
