As the sun sinks to the west, three men propel themselves
across a remote stretch of the Philippine Sea.
Hey, you gotta have your game on (and your hats off!) to try something like this !!
Fish is the primary source of protein in the Filipino diet.
These guys were probably searching for Flying Fish, Medusa Worms, or
Vermiculated Spinefoot (Rock Fish), if they felt lucky and the stars were
with them on that special evening :
"Her name is Aphrodite, and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her, for you touched the distant sands..
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured,
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes, run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you, to the hard land of the winter..."
