photos - various - part 6

I enjoy looking at the Haitian sailboats. Everything is hand-made.
Simple but functional.
A lot of Haitians take to the sea each year with the hope of a better life in an attempt to reach the shores of the US, Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos
The man who owns this small boat is a crab fisherman. The crab pots are stocked at the back of the boat.
The fishing industry is one thing that can be improved in Haiti with an improved access to higher technology boats :)

I am so looking forward to the day where the rebuilding of Haiti is complete! These wonderful people deserve to have a country they can be gainfully employed in and be proud of again! Thanks for all the wonderful pictures Karen!
