Fishing villages

Akwidaa
Eight men processed to a waiting piroque in the estuary with a
fishing net.




On my hike back from the Cape Three Points Forest Reserve, a bunch of fishing boats have pulled in, unloading their catches. Fisherman (and a couple of women) emptied the basins of fish, sorted them into piles, and I presume, began bidding for them.



Cape Coast and Elmina
Just behind the Cape Coast Castle, beyond the Door of (No) Return, lies a busy beach with boats coming and going, being hauled up onto the beach on planks and logs, men selling fish, mending nets.


The Elmina Castle is bordered by a less hectic estuary.
