Homeward Bound at Day's End

[YumaMarc]

"For men must work, and women must weep,
And there's little to earn, and many to keep,
And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep—"


A fisherman and his son going home in the Gulf of Fonseca, Honduras. When these boats are moving I'd swear the bottoms never get wet!

I don't know what ya'll call them in Honduras, but we call them skip jacks around here...good fishing boats used by many commercial fishermen here.

I really don't know what they're called here, but these little cusses FLY over the water. In late afternoon there are dozens of these going home. It is like an everyday race to see who arrives at Amapala first.

The land mass in the background is a volcanic peninsula jutting out from Nicaragua, seen in the far background at left.

Flat bottom, stable when sitting still. Will beat you senseless in even a small chop!
