Madras

Up at 6am  lashed the boat together then out fishing, with nets this time it was great but hard work rowing and hauling the net you needed a good sense of balance, I fell a few time and once overboard. Hauled the net about 9 times before surfing in. Hot sun fish sea and sand. Back in the coconut hut the fisherman cooks the biggest fish into steaks and the small fish into a pate with potato and other pate from crab and prawns. We had a fantastic night hash and rice toddy, Johnny Walker singing and playing the drum and little girls from the village dancing then out onto the beach were Johnny and Mauties  performed a tribal fighting dance it was like a movie scene.
