Sunset at the Marina By Ronda Winn-Roberts

In the 1870's, Alice le Plongeon described the local boats:
As for the islanders' boats, they constantly come 
and go ; some are exceedingly small. The fisher- 
men handle them most skillfully, one alone easily 
manages rudder and sail ; they frequently stand up- 
right in the smallest craft, apparently as much at 
ease as on land. To balance large boats they tie to 
the mast a rope with a long loop at the other end. 
In this a man sits as in a swing, his feet resting on 
the edge of the weather-side of the boat that is thus 
kept straight in a very strong wind, the man swing- 
ing himself backward over the water.
