I have no critique for these photos.... All I can say is that he needs to bail out his fishing boat!claprofl

Mr. Quiet

It also looks like that boat is as old as he is....

Can you imagine what it took to carve that boat out of a tree by hand!!!!!! My God that's why they look so old. He's only 22.

Mr. Quiet

I am guessing he is much closer to 55 then 22

Hey guys: did you already make all your bets??<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/rolleyes1.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >
Some news for you: I remember that I ask edthe guy about his age but, have been told that despite he was not sure <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/eek7.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" > ...(it often happens in these tribes), he was able to recall that the day he married, someone told him that on that same day, someone went to the moon (something he still doesn´t believe). Considering that Pataxó´s generally marry around 18, we can assume that now he must be 58 -60. Surprising no? Look at the care we must take with direct exposure to the Sun...
