Vietnamese Fisherwomen??

This is a traditional Vietnamese fishing boat, of the smaller variety. They look like saucers to me. Anywhere along the ocean you will see fishermen in these boats casting out their nets or with their fishing poles. The boats are woven out of wicker. I am not exactly sure how they are waterproof. But, the Vietnamese know their fishing I suppose. I was quite excited to paddle out to sea and become ship wrecked on a tropical island, so I was trying to paddle furiously out to sea. Jayne, on the other hand, I think was a bit scared at my shipwreck excitement.
