On Saturday we visited the boatyard and we were delighted to see that our fishing boat was in good condition and had caught 75kg of Calamari the night before.

The next morning we visited the fish market to see the final stages of the fishing process.

Yesterday afternoon Udaya and I went to the port in Colombo to buy 5 new fishing nets. During the storms at the beginning of June, in which there were many deaths, our fishermen were forced to cut their nets in order to survive and get back to shore safely.

Today we witnessed the dyeing of the nets from white to green, in order to prepare them for use on the boats tomorrow.
