    this is a great shot. I mean, how often does one come across something like this?

    Is this near Agadir? How far down the coast do you have to go? I went to Namibia partly looking for wrecks like these, and the only one was a 200-mile drive. Where? Where?

    well, it is the west sahara coast between La Youn and Dakla. more or less in fron of the Canary islands. You can run by car over kilometers of sand where these boats pop up on the beach or in the middle of the sea... sometimes whole (like this one: we stepped in too!) sometimes not. There are only a few, but it's very fascinating especially for the lonelyness of this place.

    this reminds me of the jawas' vehicle in star wars. Certainly nails the theme
