Sea Nomads

I have an article this month's in Silkwinds Magazine on the Baju Laut community in Torosiaje, Indonesia.  This was an adventure Mike and I embarked on with photographer James Morgan and writer Johnny Langenheim. 
The area we visited, on the island of Sulawesi, was rumored to be home to some of the last nomadic members of the Baju community. We were curious to see what martine nomadism looks like in the 21st century: Did it still exist? Was it thriving?  Was it all as romantic as it sounded? This article answers some of these questions and recounts that exploration.
