| Boats at the fishing village next to Clinton's cafe. The fish go directly from the ocean to these boats to the cook's pan to your plate. I had snapper and lionfish. |

| At the Hamden distillery, where they make a distinctively aromatic rum, that lives up to its name ["Rum Fire"]...The distillery is run by two brothers - no recipes are written down, no formulae, nothing - just traditions and methods passed down by word of mouth. The molasses on the floor of the distillery was at least 2" thick. |

| Tinsley house, out in the countryside of Trelawney Parish. The going is slow in these parts - huge potholes, goats, etc. Note the sugarcane growing in the fields in the foreground... |

Good Morning Moe! I must admit that following you through this journey is extremely fascinating, more importantly educating. The photogs are extremely helpful in grasping the concepts that you speak of, and I can only imagine what the locals think...
ReplyDeleteLastly, why do you think some of the boats have motors and others don't? Choice? Cost? Because I would assume they are all fishing boats. Is it a "commercialized" boat versus a leisure boat? Hmm...
Hi Nate!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :) I haven't had internet for a while, so I'm just now getting back to you. I can't speak for every fisherman, but I know that when we went out with Peter [who is also a project manager and carpenter with FHR in Falmouth], he brought the motor with him on a cart, and then attached it to his boat, which was pulled up on shore. I guessed it was to prevent his motor from being stolen or messed with; he keeps it as his house. I don't remember ever seeing a boat without a motor out on the water, and I'm pretty sure 100% of the ones you see in this pic are for fishing, so perhaps others do this as well. Some fisherman don't bother with boats, though, and just spear fish using hand-made spear guns. I have a pic of me with one - I'll post it so you can see. Needless to say, when I went spearfishing, I didn't get anything...It's pretty difficult to manage without drowning!
