Pelan, but steady and definitely, that is the appeal that Guni is done, the woman of the baya as a ereant boat driver in the CBL river, which crosses the Muara Bakti region, Babelan, Bekasi, West Java.
Eretan is a wooden boat with a width of 3 meters and a length of about 10 meters. Unmachined but pulled using straps with human power or tightened, then called eretan boat. One Eretan is usually represented by two people, one is at the end of the boat to drove and control the boat by stretching on the thread of the straps that are stretched across the river.
For people in Muara Gembong area, Bekasi, whose days use the ride to cross the river, the eretan is not a strange transportation. But for the challenger, the eretan rises are its own sensation. Be the river with a water boat is only a third of our feet, the wind semilir, the scenery stretches and the evil faces bring the atmosphere as if it is outside the Java island, not in Bekasi Regency near the State City.
