Day 17 - Another morning

After breakfast, we got ready to leave and checked out. When we paid our bill we discovered that the woman in charge had given us each four cups of coffee as settai. We thanked her and started walking. It was hot and humid, especially on the path behind the seawall. However, that soon ended and we walked a path bordering a wide beach. There were numerous small boats pulled up above the high tide line.
Although some seemed to be kept up, none of them seemed to be in much use. We could not discover whether the fishing was seasonal or just bad at present.
At least some people were catching something. Here are cleaned fish drying in the sun. The smell was incredible.
This boat looked like it might have been used recently, maybe to catch the fish that were smelling up the area.
Below is an example of a boat that was a complete wreck. It was actually falling apart. In the background you can see the high seawall. The path was at ground level so there was no breeze at all, making it hot, muggy, and miserable walking.
