January 22nd 2024: Mohamed floats in turquoise waters beneath the sun at River No. Beach, south of Freetown, Sierra Leone. We just met today and will probably not see each other again. Mohamed and his three friends have been playing water fights with my friend’s brother, Christian. When the tide is rising, it carries the salty water from the open ocean through the river amidst mangroves and carved ponds for us to swim in. You don’t feel the tide directly here. When you close your eyes and float with your ears covered by water, you feel weightless.
