Wow! Getting present to reality... & the industrialization we take as an everyday phenomenon... these sails are made with rice sacks, propelled by the wind to move sand pulled by hand for construction!

"Boats powered by wind and propelled with sails made of rice sacks transport sand pulled by hand from the Lagos Lagoon.
Sand miners dive 13 to 16 feet to the bottom of the lagoon and fill the boats one bucket at a time. The sand is being used to construct the new Lagos. Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria.
