LIME RECOGNIZES A BOAT-BUILDING MASTER St. George -- LIME Grenada has honoured a resident of the Sister Isle, Alwyn Enoe for his long-standing contribution to boat building. As a symbol of LIMEs appreciation to Mr. Enoe, he was presented with a wooden plaque by LIMEs General Manager –Angus Steele, and LIMEs Manager of Carriacou Operations –Dexter Lendore on October 17th. As the company continues to applaud those who contribute to Grenadas unique traditions and culture, the commemoration served to recognize Mr. Enoe for his years of dedication to the boat building skill, which is slowly dying. Mr. Enoe began building and repairing boats at the age of 27. During the presentation of the plaque, Mr. Steele applauded Mr. Enoe for his dedication to the profession which spans over 40 years and encouraged him to continue the excellent work. Mr. Steele also urged him to keep the tradition alive, and to encourage the youth in his area, to adopt the unique skill. Thanking Mr. Steele, Mr. Enoe said, I started this practice back in 1972 and loved it, so I have continued it until now. I hope to get more young people involved in the business, especially as Windward is Carriacous main boat building community. I want to be able to pass on the skill. One of Enoes latest constructions Exodus – a 42ft Carriacou sloop- was first featured by LIME as the image for a special edition World Talk Card. The cards all about unique aspects of the tri-island state, and featured Exodus to showcase the boat building practice in Carriacou while bringing awareness for the unique art. Exodus, which was funded by the Kickstarter project, was built by Alwyn and his sons- who have now adopted their fathers profession.
