D. Stanley 1978 131. ry (contd.) Watched the boats come in, be dragged up on the beach on rollers, etc. Many niños swimming around a rusty tub beached in the middle of the bay. Several frigate birds soared overhead, off diving down for the fish used to bait the lobster traps: ~ 2m. made of wooden poles with sharpened tips & chicken wire.
