Longtail Boatman

Longtail Boatman, Thailand.
On a choppy Saturday afternoon, we took a boat from AoNang back to Railay West. We got onto the longtail boat and set off, against the direction of the wind and the waves. The boatman had to work really hard steering the boat. Looking, I had to take this photo, to try to show the hard work the sinewy boatman had to put that day to get us back to our hotel, against the forces of nature.

Great shot, especially from a compact camera.
