MUI NE FISHING VILLAGE
I woke up at 5:45 am this morning to hire a xe om (pronounced 'say ohm' - motorbike) so I could see the Mui Ne fishing village at sunrise. The newspaper forecasted a 6:16 sunrise. The first 30 minutes the sun spent above the horizon it stayed hidden behind clouds making me wish I had done the same beneath my comforter. But the light was soft and coming in from an angle so I started to shoot the workers preparing the fishing boats before the tide came in. Most of the boats had been purposefully stranded on the sand to give the fisherman access to the hull of their boat. The fishing crew scrubbed off the barnacles and various hardshelled sea critters that had affixed themselves to the wooden sides from the night before. One worker splashed water while one scrubbed the sides feverishly while another filled holes with soft clay while a final worker renewed the painted yellow stripe that ran from the bow to stern. The whole routine appeared to be daily since each boat had the same division of labor. The sun eventually woke up showing itself to the entire village.
