Today we found a new beach, which we liked a lot. Small, quiet, few people, only two restaurants far behind and nobody selling "things" or begging

The fishermen were still working on the beach. These were sailing out to anchor the boat





That done they jumped into the water and swam back to the beach; it was quite a distance

I cannot upload the pics, so the rest must wait

A simple life.

Liz, I tried putting fewer pics/post and it worked....eventually, but is somewhat annoying

Astounding! Some old men swimming far there!

Good work ethic!

Others were preparing the net for the next outing



Here you can see how far out the boats are anchored



Team work. The net was enormous and must be very heavy









When the net was onboard they all started to push the boat into the water. Another heavy work!!



The ones going fishing jumped on board before the last push



and off they went......rowing No motor on the fishing boats here





The rest of the men, who had probably been out very early in the morning, started to move away and I presume to go home and have lunch........most likely fish
One was putting on his loincloth in order to look respectable



In the meantime the fishing boat was getting further and further away





A last zoom before it disappeared



If you want to get rid of a few kilos, come and work as a fisherman here You might need to get your muscles fit first though and I fear that the pay for a very hard work is very poor

After a couple of lazy hours on the beach, the tourists went to one of the restaurants and enjoyed one of the fish, which had cost so much fatique from the fishermen.

Looks exhausting...
