| This is a fairly lousy
picture but I was so taken with this guy's approach I just had to share it. We were on a pier at Placencia Harbor--anchorage to more than one visiting multimillion dollar yacht-- when this silver-ponytailed gentleman pulled up in a dinky dinghy with capped bundles of plastic pipe strapped to the sides for extra buoyancy and a tiny "dragonfly" outboard engine that looked like it could run on a couple of AA batteries. He was there to pick up his people. We watched with increasing amusement as they boarded, a kind of reverse clown car: first a mature woman, then two teens, a big dog, and last of all a bicycle, all pretzeled together, weighing it down to the gunwales. They pushed off and putt-putted away, a tight-knit family. |
