This is another small fishing village near Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Almost all boats, from ferries to freighters, have a set of 'eyes' painted on the bow so that the boat can see where it is going.
But not fishing boats. Because if fishing boats had eyes, the fish would see them and swim away, scared.
Canoe-ists would really admire these fisherman. They have these cool 'dinghys' that they use to check their nets and get to shore with. They're perfectly round and handmade. If you're a canoe-ist, you're familiar with the "j" stroke. The Vietnamese "j" stroke is accomplished by attaching the paddle to the gunwale with rope, at the back, and then, by paddling and undulating, incredible speed and direction is possible.
