Fishermen Again

The fishermen hold endless fascination for us. As I wrote before, several times a week we end our beach walk/swim with a drink at the little cafe on the sand where the fishermen roll their boats up. Once the boats are high out of the water a man will hoist the engine on his shoulder and walk off to put it in the back of a little pickup. I mentioned a boat engine being carried on a motor scooter. I took a photo of it a couple of days ago.

One of the fishermen unchained a motor scooter from the palm tree that it rested on and drove it close to the boat. He lifted a five gallon gas can and put it in front of him over the scooter engine. Another man hoisted the boat engine across the seat behind the driver with the steering stick tucked under the drivers arm. Finally, another five gallon bucket, maybe a bait bucket, was slipped over one side of the handlebars and the man drove away.
