Ibn Batuta's Journey to Quillen

Ibn Batuta's ship was lost at sea. He hoped his other ship had survived the storm, and he could catch it at Quillen about 180 miles or 290 kilometers away. Ibn Batuta decided to hire a small river craft and go down the coast through the canals and lagoons that make up the Malabar coast. After 40 days without much to do most of the time at the local mosque,. Eventually he approached Jamal Al-Din and offered him his services. The plan was to launch an amphibious attack on Goa and seize the city.
