An year ago, we were trekking on a route in Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India. Initially we had planned to walk by the river but an elderly person that we met on the way asked us to cross the river and walk the other bank as it has better trail than the one we haf planned. When we said we didn't want to swim, he dropped us on the other side of the river in his own boat. He didn't want money, he just wanted us to come and see his small farm he had created out of nothing. Gem of a person! He resembled uncle Popeye. We call him the sailor man.. Beep Beep!
