Maya stopped by. The two of us have another friend in common, Joan from Washington. Joan gave Maya my address, and I was so pleased when Maya showed up at my office.
Of course I invited Maya to go sailing on the Volta River. She seemed quite at home on my Hobie 16, though she'd apparently not sailed before.
We took an extended cruise, first upriver toward Big Ada, around the big island and through several of the smaller waterways among the smaller islands.
We waved to the young boys we discovered casting their nets or diving for oysters.
Often one boy will stay in the boat with a motorized pump, while the other dives with the air hose.
Or maybe they'll have constructed lots of traps from palm, loading them with bits of fish to attract crabs.
They also use nets that are fed overboard, supported by floats, and formed into a big circle.
After a long day on the boat, it was good to relax on a hammock over at Pat's place.

love it jeff! it looks like flat maya is having a nice time visiting with you. i'm glad she didn't get sea sick, given it was her first time sailing! :) i'm surprised she didn't have a drink in her hand though...my friend gail at work took her to atlantic city and she apparently liked the martini's! ;)
best wishes,
joan
Hmm, Maya didn't say anything about wanting a drink. Pat does serve beer, but only in the large bottles, which I fear would be about 3 times Maya's size. Can she handle it??
certainly! ...although she'll probably get really giddy! ha ha! cheers! :)
best wishes,
joan
