Installment #4
West side Little Corn Island
There are 3 trails that lead across the island strategically spread for the transport of supplies from the dock to the various remote homes, businesses and hotels that rely on the cargo ship that arrives twice a week. Everything here on the island is transported, grown or harvested from the sea.
West side Little Corn Island
There are 3 trails that lead across the island strategically spread for the transport of supplies from the dock to the various remote homes, businesses and hotels that rely on the cargo ship that arrives twice a week. Everything here on the island is transported, grown or harvested from the sea.
Today we ventured to the west side in hopes of calmer seas and perhaps some fishing spots. The air was hot and humid. The air thick with jungle smells and flowers. You could feel the humidity all around you and an uncontrollable sweat formed on our entire bodies. We could hear the sea and hastened our steps to find its cool relief.
Arriving on this side of the island you could tell this was the more developed side and a "bustling" center of commerce. There were a few restaurants, hotels and dive shops. The dock was the main hub of action with boats and pangas traveling from the Big Island. Locals pushing big wheeled wooden carts full of provisions brought on the cargo ship to their various destinations.
One main brick and concrete path, painted in various island colors strung this bustling center together. Children and tourists alike played in the water, a few families of fisherman threw their hand lines into the surf in hopes of catching dinner. We found a refuge and played with Gandaulf in the surf and cooled off ourselves. Time slowed and the daytime temperatures became tolerable. Relaxation overwhelmed our total beings and we were finally disconnected.
