While strolling through the lovely Bocas Marina grounds this morning (yes we do still stroll occasionally), Bob came across one of the marina workers building a dug out canoe, he called me to bring the camera and photograph the guy at work.
The method used in building the boat/canoe was inspiring. They start with the trunk of a large tree, and carve the entire boat with an axe, the precision with which the guy was wielding the axe was incredible.
Sadly our knowledge of the Spanish language is pathetic to zero, but we did (using sign language) learn that this is the 5th boat this man has built.
I wanted to post photographs for people to see.
