Yamaha 15hp L/S - Gambia  - Several of our customers live in Gambia, here we see a 15hp Yamaha donated to the local fishermen - they also donated grain to outlying villages(anonymously). There are around 4000 British nationals living in Gambia, with roughly 1500 per week holidaying there in the height of the season. The 11,295km² nation is surrounded by Senegal, barring an 80km Atlantic coastline with scenic lagoons, golden beaches, and biologically-rich coastal reserves. Known as the 'smiling coast', its population of just over two million has a reputation for being warm-hearted, and the Gambian people are often considered to be the real treasures of the country. It may be one of the safest countries in Africa, in spite of its recent authoritarian rule and poor human rights record, but its stability has not resulted in prosperity. Despite the presence of the Gambia River, which runs through the middle of the country and is teeming with wildlife ' including nearly 600 bird species, manatees, hippos, and colobus monkeys ' only one-sixth of the land in the country is fertile due to poor soil quality. This has led to one main crop being grown ' peanuts. As a result of this lack of agricultural revenue, tourism is becoming an important source of foreign exchange, and expats can find increasing opportunities in this sector. Also, many expats have set up their businesses to capitalise on this growing tourism industry. Here is a beautiful song by Southampton band SVGA and their Artist Sereh Sillah - Smiling coast ;- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTOOiJJddv0
