Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon.

"He lives on board, with a monkey."
From the Greenpeace blog:
Off the coast of West Africa lies a 'graveyard' of rusting ships, abandoned by their owners. The thing is, there's still fishermen living on board ...Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by abandoned, rusting boats. There's something haunting and other-worldly about them. When I was in Greece, my wife and I found an old freight ship that had run aground off the coast of the southern Peloponnese. We swam out and explored the guts and cabin of the dead, hulking vessel. I could never get bored of doing that.
"We head to another of the rusting fishing vessels, 70 nautical miles off the coast of Guinea, West Africa. We had been told this was where old pirate fishing boats were left at anchor, abandoned. We didn't expect to find living people on board the dying ships." (Link to photo gallery and article).
And to think that there are some of these Chinese fishermen who've been on board for years! Amazing. Makes me want to take a trip to visit them.
