Prins Bernhard Day 3 - Patience and then the first strike!

Day 3 - Waiting 

Fishing is the art of patience 

Often tinged with a dose of impatience 

For this first day in the Channel 

Herring is scattered 

At the walkway and refectory 

We wait..........

 "You shouldn't miss that one...!" 

For a first haul, this one is beautiful. 

That's it: a school of herring has been detected. No sooner had the bridge officer given the order to put the trawl in the water than the guys on deck were already on the job. 

Spinning, turning. 

Concentration, coordination. 

The voice of the bridge officer in the helmet, the signs of the bo's'n in the viewfinder. There's nothing like a smooth first shot to launch the trip.
