First Boat Trip

55. Fish!

On our way back, the boat ran past this fish that was swimming near the surface. My guide made two attempts to catch it with his hands, but when this failed, he turned the boat around. I thought he wanted to give me a photo occasion, but splash! Without a warning he hit the fish with the oar, and didn't care that the water splashed on his passenger. Then he picked up the unconscious fish to strangle it and put it on the floor of the boat. Presumably this was his dinner.
