I didn't take the reference photo on this one so I purchased the rights to it. It reminded me of the fishermen I met in Exuma, Bahamas. They would leave their boats on the beach at the end of the day, not worried that they might get stolen or drift away, and go home with no worries. I did a lot of fly fishing while I was there so I talked to these guys a good bit. They told me that these boats weren't big enough to go to the nearest island so if someone stole it, they would have to leave it on this island. There weren't any identifiable markings on the boats other than the way the owner painted his boat made it his, and everyone knew each others boat that way. They lived the simplest of lives with minimal possessions and comforts and appeared to be excessively happy and content.
