Skywatch Friday #22

It's exactly a week I last posted a photo on MDS. This time it was a major fibre cable cut and replacement for almost 5 days. One important New year resolution is my change of Internet service provider very soon.

This is the morning sky near Versova fish market in the early morning hours at about 6.30 am.

These boats at Versova jetty are used by fishermen for fishing. The trawlers are used to transport passengers from Versova to Madh Island ferry wharf in Malad.

The Versova jetty is approachable from Versova bus-stop (also called Vesawe). It is a ten to fifteen minutes walk through the fishermen's colony smelling the fresh sea breeze. One can get on one of these trawlers also with bikes, and cross over to reach Madh Island beach in Malad.

 In this picture, you can see the other trawler on the opposite side too. Very closeby is where fishermen unload their fresh catch, and fish wives come here to buy directly from fishermen, and then sell fish in the Versova fish market. More from Versova jetty tomorrow.
