Quoted Out of Africa by I. Dinensen
"While I was sailing home, past Lamu and Takaunga, where our dhow was to have found her way, I thought of him."
I understand that "find its way somewhere" means arrive or get somewhere (after some time). If so, may I re-word the above sentence as below:
""While I was sailing home, when our dhow was to have found her way into Lamu and Takaunga, I thought of him."
Is there anything the new sentence misses?
Thanks for your help.
