Post 3: A day to remember

The first though that comes to my mind when you ask me for a remarkable day is one day in October 2014. I was in fieldwork, making ethnography for a subject in the college with my group of classmates, in total we were five. We went to 'Caleta Los Pellines' for one week, it was such an experience, we learn how the people works on the boats, how they fish and how they live in this particular form of subsistence, which means go into the ocean with nothing more that a few fishing nets and get fishes for selling.
The first day we were looking around the coast, recognizing the territory, and in the night we were very tired, but anyone wanted to sleep, because we wanted to watch the fishermen entering the sea with the boats, and for that we need to get up like at 4 AM, so we plan to stay awake all night long. No one could take the fatigue that means not sleeping in all night, so we go to the bed like at 2 AM, hoping that everyone would get up at 4 AM. Unfortunately we sleep too much, and we got up like at 5 AM, and we hurry to dress up and prepare everything to depart. For our fortune the fishermen were delayed too, and they were still trying to enter the sea. We recorded all the event, it was beautiful to see, all the men helping each other to push the boats into the water, a tractor pushing them against the waves and some dogs playing around. When a boat enter the sea i looked it until it disappears in the horizon. The pack of dogs in the beach that were playing to bite the tractor wheels was something very funny, it doesn't seems to matter them how cold the water was, they were very happy running from here to there, biting and barking . After all the boats entered into the sea we bought some knead bread and tea to share in the shore.
