Fishing

These men are headed out to sea on a fishing trip. They will go out this afternoon, fish all night and then head back sometime tomorrow. These rafts are fashioned from styrofoam and wood packing cases. The fish will be sold if they have a decent catch. This seems like a very dangerous way to scratch out a living, but many Cubans are very resourceful when it comes to rafts. Large inner tubes from truck tires ae also used. The boys and men who do this are called "pneumaticos."
