The Can Woman of Canas

This woman spends each and every day walking around Canasvieiras, scouring the town and beach for empty cans, for which I guess, she gets a little money. Barely enough to life on judging by her skeletal frame and that she also sleeps rough.

Tainha Ahoy!

A Tainha boat just setting out from the small beach of Pria da Lagoinha do Leste on the east coast of Floripa. The guy to the right of the net is still paying out the rope, and the net will soon follow.

The idea is to steer the boat in a 'U' shape, encircling the fish, return to shore, and then pull in the net. Sometimes the win, sometimes they loose.
