Bumboats off Funchal, Madeira, heading out to the anchorage. The photographer is in a boat close to these bumboats whose owners are hoping to barter their wares with tourists on board a passenger cruise ship. The nearest boat, which has the hull number E2540A, has one occupant and he is trading model sailing boats. He has a fully rigged sloop in the bow of his rowing boat and two fully rigged ketches and another sloop in the stern.
