Being an US Airforce ...Thank you for posting this. Being an US Airforce brat, I lived on the island of Okinawa for 2 years, (1979 - 1981). I remember those long skinny wooden fishing boats. I also remember being amazed at how seaworthy they were. Most were powered by small gasoline motors and could handle heavy seas. I remember watching one from the shore on Ie Shima, (one of the Ryukyu Islands, as is Okinawa, and their nearest neighbor), and thinking, "there's no way I'd get out there on one of those". It put me in the mind of a motorized canoe! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148540515456823966noreply@blogger.com
