Here some pics I took in Goa while on holiday. I couldn't resist these fishing boats. :D

Some were adorned with both Catholic saint names and Hindu-style flower garlands. Those fishermen weren't taking any chances. I guess I did too much PS on this second one.

    It's hard to imagine from the first one that one can actually fish with that tangled net.
    enjoy being here while getting there

    Sorry the previous post sounded abrupt, it was'nt supposed to :):

    I dug out my shots of Goa from about 10 years ago and scanned some of them.

    The fishermen take the net out with the boat in a wide arc...

    Then they all pull the net back in to shore...

    Stan, I love #3 and #4. I was way too lazy to get up early for the fishermen. :D
    We saw cocklers too, but my photos of them didn't turn out at all well. Loads of men standing up to their necks in water!
