While we're having our coffee this morning, a man hailed us from his dinghy. It was filled with goods to sell: coconuts, woven baskets and hats, palm fronds. We bought two green coconuts from him, he cut them open and we drank the juice. We also bought a ripe (brown) coconut, which he cut open and we feasted on the milk and fresh meat. Delicious! His name is John Marley and he was extremely friendly. We turned down his offer to sell us "weed and powder." When he asked for something from us as a trade (tip), we sent him off with a much appreciated ice cold beer. Quite a colorful character!
