FISHING

Landing in this new island habitat saw a sudden and significant change to my diet. The transition period for the first month would result in diminished energy levels; provoking a need to learn the art of fishing – an important survival skill for those residing by the ocean. Fortunately Si Hen and a couple of experienced fisherman in the village were kind enough to share their trade with me. It was thanks to their generosity that learning to fish became a daily activity here in the village and kept me well fed. The images posted here are showing my ‘Mujalo’ bait-fish net throwing developments, under close instruction from master fisherman Si Hen.
