Today is our last evening on Thulhaghiri. I propose that we celebrate it with yet another way of enjoying your time off by the sea. We will board this little boat.
Its design is typical for the Maldives. The most amazing part is that instead of holding a steering wheel, the captain uses his foot.
We will be fishing in open sea today. Or in the open ocean to be more precise. Our island is hardly visible now.
The crew took out a long rope.
We are ready to anchor.
We will use a traditional fishing method - a piece of gimp on a plastic circle.
Obviously, we need bait. It is actually fish meat so I expect we look for some fish with pretty sharp teeth.
We need to place one piece on a hook at the end of the gimp.
And then you throw it in the water.
Then it is all about waiting. And waiting. And getting jealous when somebody else manages to catch something.
Even if this is not a large something, still it is something.
The sun starts to set down.
And finally, my first catch! It is surprisingly large so the nice gentleman agreed to hold it while I take a few steps back to take a perfect picture.
This is a Something now!
The Sun gets lower again.
And yes, another catch! And who caught it? Me, me, me! Well, fine, my human assistant but this is just the same.
Towards the end of the strip, our bucket looks really impressive. Though most of them were caught by the captain of the ship.
We can now sail back and enjoy the magnificent sunset. Like in paintings by J.W. M. Turner.
But the absolutely very best part of it will be later in the evening, when the cook does his magic. Bon appetit my friends!
