DAY 211 - VAGATOR BEACH



211) TUESDAY, 24 JANUARY 1978 : 0KMS. - VAGATOR BEACH




I woke up early to see the work effort of village fishermen pulling in fishing nets, laid last night, on the beach whether they had reasonable gained.

I saw the women and children sitting casting fishes from the nets. There were more smaller fishes than larger ones : sea snakes, sharks, jellyfishes,  prawns, and  crabs.

I expected they might get some  lobsters that we could buy from them  but they got only small size of prawns.  So we bought some to boil and peel for frying with eggs and pepper. It was delicious because we did not taste fresh seafood for many months.

After our breakfast , we walked  along the beach to the north about 2 kms. away.  We stopped along the way periodically.  In the early evening, on the way back, it was very low-tide that we could walk down very far on the beach. The locals came to collect shellfish from the sand as well as to catch some fishes along the rocks.
