Trail Two: Planting Shrimp Cages in Guereo

Today was my second attempt at planting two shrimp cages 1km off the sea in a remote fishing village in Guereo, Senegal. The last time having lost one of the two cages due to the rough sea, plus the results weren't that fruitful. In the end the one cage we picked back up came out with nothing. Though I was glad this didn't entirely kill their enthusiasm. I decided to give it another go ahead this evening as time is pressing since the donations have to be made official within a few weeks, and we just have to make sure the cages work well for the people who need them.

Thanks to the calm sea we were actually able to go ahead without much trouble. During our last trial our little piroque actually sank right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean before the cages could be planted! Tommorow will be the big day! Hope things turn out as expected...plenty of rose prawns for the fishermen of Guereo!
