SAMINAKA CITIZENRY--ORIENT PAINE


Mr. Paine is a long-time Saminaka resident, preferring his motor yacht to any land-lubbing home. Docked at Apapa port, he often waves at passersby. Amiable by nature, he amuses himself by reminding tresspassers that his dock has a "private" sign. Did I mention, he reminds them with gun in hand? (Ports are notoriously dangerous spots--a man must be prepared).

Orient, seen here grilling burgers with Saminaka's famous boulders in the background, enjoys zipping along the Saminaka shoreline on his jetski. The manatees are not amused, and the hammerhead shark is apparently appalled--Mr. Paine claims to be able to outpace it.

Join Orient for a rum and coke or a glass of wine down at the Manatee Lookout, our palm wine beachside joint.
