Spear Fishing in Chuburna


A few days ago, while walking along the beach, I noticed a boat full of men were hugging the coast dipping in and out of the little bays made by the posts which try to protect the shore from erosion (they don't work but that is a different story). I saw them stop and then the men jumped out and set out two sets of nets. As I came closer, I noticed this guy using a spear gun to catch fish. It was neat watching as he was successful in catching the trapped fish.

Yesterday, Mom helped Kathy measure and mark out windows and electrical outlets as Kathy's work crew is supposed to start working on the renovations to her new (for her) beachside villa. We also said goodbye to a few new friends from Maine. Now we have places to stay when we travel to the East coast. We enjoyed a good time with Carol, Pam, Nichol and Damon, including time spent snorkelling.

Today we are back to hot and sunny weather, something that is supposed to last until our plane leaves at noon on Sunday. Who knows, we might be glad to get back to 0C for daytime highs in Elrose. At least then I will feel like working in the basement.

Sens won yesterday, Elliott's first NHL shutout. I still doubt that the team will make the playoffs as it depends on too many teams having a crappy last ten games with Ottawa winning all of its games. I'm sure Toronto will do its best to make sure that doesn't happen for Ottawa's final game of the regular season being played against the Leafs.
