This is a not so common sight to behold. It's around 6 AM and it took a couple of minutes to have fully pushed the drowsiness down my throat. I liked the view but I did not like the smell, though before the boat came on the shore I savored the cool salty breeze and the warm sea water as it drenched my toes. The fish they caught were not really that plenty, or maybe the net was just too big for the catch?
The local townsfolk including my mom on the background has been doing this routine since they were still kids, with their parents. It's a custom for them to wait patiently on the shore for fishermen from an over night fishing campaign. The catch of the day will be circulated and marketed within the Sitio and will most like be traded with other commodities like soap, rice, coffee or sugar.
