I took those three on the day I motorbiked around the island. The picture below is one of those crazy Vietnamese things that just makes you look again and say, "What!?" There are tons of these cement boats in the bay, and I have no idea how they float but apparently they work fine. Another one of those moments was when I saw two scooters riding next to each other in town with four adults on each. Below the boat are more pictures I took the days I went deep water soloing.
You can see one of the "basket boats" the fishermen (and climbers) use in the foreground, and the guy on the left is Dave, one of the guides who I climbed with on his off days. He's going back to California (along with another of the guides Sander) before spring. Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with them and have some partners for California. Maybe Joshua Tree!
The Vietnamese guy in the last photo is Vu. He is the best Vietnamese climber and climbs harder than me on ropes.... barefoot. He's sent 5.13c and is one of two Vietnamese climbing guides on the island, the other being his little brother. He climbs better barefoot than in shoes, but tries to use shoes as he thinks once he learns how to use them he'll be better with them.
So those are all the Cat Ba pictures worth posting, hope you enjoyed seeing them :).
