Our trip to our host communities was delayed by a few hours which allowed for an impromptu trip to see a few more sights in Dakar.
First stop was a place we had passed on several occasions that had a lot of the fishing boats. The owner of the place was happy to share with us a bit about the boat making. His family had been making boats there for many years. Some of them are large enough to hold up to 40 people. There is storage for fish and other supplies below the floorboards. Smaller boats go out for the day, some for a few days and others have gone for weeks at a time. They were impressive!
