GLI GLI A Caribbean voyaging canoe

摘要

GLI GLI, a 35' dugout canoe, was launched in 1996 from the Caribbean Island of Dominica. The boat was the result of a "total chance meeting on a bus with a Carib Indian," said Aragorn Dick Read, one of the project's originators. "We ended up talking canoes, and within a half hour we hatched a plan to build one." Jacob Frederick was the other man on the bus, and his godfather, Etien Charles, is a master canoe builder.
