Walking down the beach from the Lemontree is always fun. Each time we pass this boat we smile…how joyful this boat is and how happy its owner must be to step into it and go out and fish. You can see in the photograph that he has a wench to pull it in and out of the ocean and up onto the beach. All boats must be registered and are given a number and a seal that you see here. This fellow has also named his boat. He has named it Cucaracha. We don't know why he named his boat this but the song "La Cucaracha" is of Spanish origin.
The most traditional Spanish version is as follows:
- La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
- Ya no puede caminar
- Porque no tiene, porque le falta
- Las dos patitas de atras
English
- The cockroach, the cockroach,
- Can't walk anymore
- Because it doesn't have, because it's lacking
- Its two back feet
We see fishermen almost daily out with their nets and lines and some sell fish by the side of the road. If you are really lucky, one of them will become your friend and you will be on the “short list” for lobster and fresh fish!
