fishing boat returns {bw}

This commercial fishing boat is ready to berth at the wharf. Not a big boat, and I like the chugging sounds of the engine. Many of them have been retired from service and turned into charter boats for sports or overnight fishing. Current rates are lucrative and they are easily operated by two crew. Many years ago, I went on a boat like this one for a 24-hour fishing trip. Being on the open sea and fishing at midnight was memorable.

la mer

"Si vous ne trouvez pas votre amour sur le rivage, il vous suffira d'aller au delà des mers."

"Se você não encontrar seu amor na praia, você só tem que ir além do mar."

"If you can't find your love on the shore, you will just have to go out beyond the sea."

{Thanks to Gislaadt Art and flores do meu jardim for their kind help with the translations. }

Engine braking II {B/W version}

View from the passenger seat on a trip from Keningau town in the interior of Sabah. The route descends the slopes of the Crocker Range, parts of which are rather steep. It is foggy and misty in the late afternoon.
