since they won't make any money otherwise, they have to work any day they can get out. no matter what season. hurricane season, earthquake season, volcano season, even during nice times of year.

Most days the guys are out fishing. Only when a hurricane is nearby will they stay off the water. Fishing is their livihood. People in general depend on the fish as well so if they don't go out everybody suffers. I lived east for three years and often went to Indonesia though it was officially out of bounds. Some Malay guys I kept my boat with had pots off the Indonesian coast and went over at night to get the lobsters. Straight to their own pots with no artificial navigation aids like compasses...over 20 miles across the straights, reading the sea. Good folks.....great fishing with them. I miss living there. Here are some long rods....normal for Malaysian and Indonesian flat beaches. Good thing to bring home....cheap there for good rods. http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx144/vantzer2/2009/sembawang/15_Fishing.jpg . . .
