The floating fruit vendor at Rodney Bay Marina

We were told about this guy from a Canadian couple we met in Antigua. We thought they were kidding, but this guy has a small, wooden boat that he has covered with a “thatched” roof and then filled with fruits and vegetables. Apparently, in normal times he comes out to all the boats in their slips and delivers fruits and vegetables (for a price). When we were at the marina, he was attached to the dinghy dock, probably to keep him from spreading the ‘rona. Nice guy, a little pushy, OK fruits and vegetables, a little over-priced. He gets re-stocked daily and has a pretty decent selection. Always fun to dicker about price and talk to local businessmen, but not something I am personally looking for on a daily basis, when I can walk another 100 feet to a grocery store with the same items. The boat looks pretty rough from the outside.
