Goa - Baga Beach Fishing boats on a sunlit day

This is the water in November in Goa. The greenish pallor is because of the fact that it is riverine and there are lots of trees around.

 

Around November, The waters become gentle as the great summer and monsoon churn of the Arabian sea subsides. The dirt settles down to the bottom of the sea.

 

These are fishing boats that go out to the sea. Nowadays there is an outboard motor that is used to propel the boats owned mostly by christian Goans, but a few years ago you saw black wooden long boats that would be pushed out to the sea. A daily ritual in the 80s on the Baga and Calangute beaches. The great tourist bustle has marginalized the traditional fishermen bar a few.
