The enramadas are pole, branch and frond construction. In summer months the sea level rises around six feet and water actually enters under the eaves and undermines the poles. The section collapses. Out comes the shovels and more twine. Poles are re-sunk, branches and fronds and twined together yet again. This is "living on the edge" that few Americans can understand or fathom. There is no alternative to this. In the summer, when a hurricane, and huge waves threaten, appliances, boat, dishes and everything else gets removed up to the houses 200' above sea level. The back wall of the enramada sits flush against a 100' vertical cliff. Everyone laughs-off such adversity. It's income however harsh.
Like it or not petty theft is all too common down here. "If they're stupid enough to leave it around, then they must value it a lot less than I would". Separates the good folks from the slime in any society.
