Skirting the coast of the majority of the island are fishing hulls called jukungs. Outrigger skiffs in the shape of insects or fish, replete with triangular sails, they're splashed with primary colors and hollowed out to support a bounty of fresh seafood catch. One of my favorite memories of the month was gazing out to the endless ocean from a high northshore perch and watching an armada of fish-laden jukung race back to home port across the almond sunset sea.
