Eid in Chibaish - 16 May

Some images of hanging around the office and the town of Chibiash

I woke up to these hanging in the back yard .... the preparation of Masmuta. The fish is salted and hung to dry for 2 days, than cleaned and grilled.

Canal in Chibaish (most of these boat, like the one in the foreground, carry equipment for Electro-fishing)

A homestead in the marshes

Reed mats ready for loading

"Miss you" - There is a belief here that a cloth cover for ones motor that dips down into the water will keep the engine cooler ... many are quite flashy

J (far right) planning a sampling trip for me deep into the marshes for tomorrow
