Chainsaws and Horror Movies

We mount up early the next day, even though there isn't much to see along the way and not much track to cover. But the last 24 hours of rest have done Kellie a world of good and she's licked her wounds sustained from the $20 hill. In fact, she's feeling a bit cheeky

We hug the South Pacific to beautiful vistas

And then comes this first big town. These people stop their car to jump on our bikes.

Having a whale of a time today
[​IMG]

And we find ourselves on the wrong side of the "law man" again. Since it's the day after a major holiday, mandatory road check points are in full force. After we dig all of our bikes registration papers out from the bottom caverns of the panniers, we have some time for these happy snaps!

We head into Manta. Manta is known for fishing, and thus the wooden boat repair yard

Who doesn't love a free meal of fish guts?

This Labrador came to fish market with a basket. I guess this is the Doggie version of a "Doggie Bag" for leftover food?
[​IMG]

Never thought to make a wheelbarrow entirely from wood, including the wheel!
[​IMG]

There were some boats nearly done
[​IMG]

[​IMG]

But mostly boats that were nowhere near done

Finished Ribs

Interesting how the stock ribbing material is already curved. On smaller boats, they used the tree root ball as it was the strongest for ribbing and it had a natural curve. These look too big for a root, but who knows?

Why is it when you hear a chainsaw, you automatically think Freddie Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street horror film is chasing you?[​IMG]

We may reign the wooden boat world, but we don't care about electrical codes! Indoor sockets anyone?
