Riggy-back

small outrigger canoe attached to the outrigger of a bigger canoe A tiny outrigger canoe attached to the outrigger of a larger canoe that serves as a ferry between islands. We call all outrigger canoes bangka in Tagalog, whether they're motorized or not, or whether they're big enough to carry 60 passengers or just two.

  5. 60 passengers. I wouldn't have imagined such a thing. I guess I've only seen small outriggers. Love the way you composed this.

    So sorry to hear of the ferry crash...very sad!
