RE: The End of the Pier and a Bridge too Far

in Worldmappin16 days ago

Two local fishing boats await their next trip out to sea. Boats like these will fish in pairs and stay far out at sea for a week at a time

When I lived in Krabi I got to know quite a few people involved in the fishing industry because our dive boats went to the same resupply place as the fishing boats do because there was only 1. I got to talking to some of the people that work on these boats and their lifestyle certainly doesn't seem like something to aspire to but they seemed content and happy. I was surprised to find out that many or perhaps most of the people that work on these boats cannot swim! I suppose they have good safety protocols in place though because we didn't ever hear about people drowning that work on them.
