| I wanted a cool island ride |
| The Carabao has been a friend and beast of burden to the people in the western pacific since their introduction in the 1600’s. Sedately plodding along the dusty roads, these wonderful animals were happy to pull their heavily loaded carts. They were the island’s trucks, tractors, and cars, also providing both milk and meat. I HAD THE BOAT'S NAME THE MOTOR VESSEL CARABAO |
| After retiring to Guam I thought I would spend a lot of time under the mango tree, but it is not working out that way. The people of the Western Pacific are spread over hundreds of small islands. Only a few are serviced by regular freight operations leaving many without dependable links. There are non-profit organizations collecting school supplies, medical supplies, and the like for distribution to these smaller islands. However, transport to the smaller islands is very difficult. Some islands are visited less than once a year. People die for the lack of medicines we routinely buy at K-Mart. Much of this is within 400 miles of Guam. Out of this, the dream of a purpose-built delivery boat began to develop. |
