We live far from the beach so the sights at the shoreline that morning were somewhat special. Looking at the horizon where the sea water and the sky united was always a wonderful sight. It was like a food for my soul. It calmed my spirit, relaxed my mind and brought joy to my heart.
My thoughts wandered looking upon those sailing objects. It looked so small from afar but I know how huge they were and that there could be lots of people inside. They should have been eager to land somewhere after their long stay over the seas. I know the view from there were beautiful but people were not destined to stay on the water forever. We, too, needed to cross this body of water again to go back home. Do you think that ship could be our ride home? I think so.
Those group of fishermen caught our eyes too. We were guessing on what they were doing. A few of them dived into the water and after a few minutes they landed ashore. They were just few meters away from us so we were able to spy them. We found out that their boat was full of large "suwaki" (an edible sea urchin). And then their wives and children came with rice in their baskets. To our envy they were having a family picnic before our very eyes. If only we had the boat and goggles, we would have dived too to get those "suwaki". There could be plenty of them beneath as it took them less than an hour to fill in their boat. That mouth watery sight made us all hungry.
Another sailor passed us by. He was alone. His hat was intriguing so my sister-in law took a closer view. And there it was, very unique indeed.
There were plenty of white birds in the island. They could be wild ducks or heron. I am not sure but what do you think they were? It was so faraway for us to know. Like people, they were fishing for food too. They could be having a fest over there. Some sailor said that if you wanted to know where the school of fishes were, all you needed to do was to follow those birds. And this happens to be your clue for the day!!
