Following a grueling, but short, hike up to a viewpoint overlooking Lake Peten Itza and the island city of Flores we marched back down to our launch to continue onto the beach. It was hot and I was looking forward to getting back to my bottle of water under the shade of the launch. But, before I could do that I decided to stop for a photo of these two launches, as they waited patiently for their passengers. Mine was the smaller one on the right.
I love the colours of the boats.
The fishermen of Gozo go into painting thier boats really bright colours too. Fishermen are frustrated artists. I guess when traditional building methods produce floating “clones’, it makes sense to “personalise” your craft.
