The lamp man

by on Oct.15, 2010, under Africa , Malawi

In the early afternoon, the beach fills. Only the children and the dogs, then follow the men, women and finally the entire fishing village on the shores of Lakes is gathered.
Vorbereitung zu Fischfang

There are still repairing networks, or bulbs filled with stinking petroleum. The whole gives the impression of a folk festival. Nothing is less true. The mood is not cheerful, generic cialis overnigh but rather excited, because when the darkness falls will be extended. The boats will stay the whole night on the lake. You try to fish as much as possible.

The crew is participating in proportion to the catch. The captain is the most important person on board, its share is thus the largest, followed by the lamp man.

He is responsible for the burning of the lamps to attract fish to stay up all night. This is a very responsible and difficult task. The rest of the crew then operates the networks, which are exposed to smaller dinghies.
The beach is emptied when the boats are gone. Only toward the end of the night, the boats are back once again finds room.
Then the catcher in the dark will be received.
Hopefully all are unharmed back, hopefully the boat is not damaged and, of course, hopefully the catch was good.
