Maldives Fishing Part II
A few more outtakes from my time back on a commercial fishing boat in the Maldives, earlier in the year.
One of my funniest memories of being on the boats, is the time when I was sleeping on the outside top deck. Using my lightweight Goretex jacket as padding I was sleeping straight on the fiberglass upper deck, when I was woken by a friendly kick in the ribs. Bleary eyed I lifted my head up to be faced by seven of the Maldivian crew members in the pre-dawn light. The guy that jabbed me in the ribs indicated that I had to move to one side as I was sleeping in the spot where they prayed each day.
I shuffled out of the way and my Muslim crew members went about their business. As for me, I went straight back to sleep.
