Vilankulos Shoreline






How do I recharge my batteries? Go to the beach at Vilankulo and help this guy work on his boat. The rotten fish water that filled the inside needed bailing. I told him I was qualified for the job and would gladly do it if I could take a picture of his boat. He smiled and said he needed whiskey. He drank and I bailed.
Apparently a big catch was on so I had to help these other dudes haul in their nets. The big catch happens two times a day. It was a good thing I was there to help or the fish would have never made it to market. I'm pretty sure I saved the village. That's why they laughed at me the whole time. It's a village custom.
Then I had to dance with kids because that's what grown American men do in Africa, or at least they should.
Next it was time to look at cool boats at the marina. The 4th picture down is the marina.
Video below is downtown Vilankulo. If you look closely you won't see a Target or Home Depot.
