Sailing Nahoa: SPOTLIGHT Fishing Filipino Style

Published on Jul 28, 2019

In all of our travels we have never seen so many fishing boats as in the Philippines. Not big ones. Just small outrigger style canoes that typically hold two to four people. It’s pretty neat. As soon as they start the engine the propeller starts spinning. No clutch. No gearbox. Just an engine directly hooked up to a little gas engine. With these contraptions they venture 50+ miles offshore as the sun sets and start up their lamps. We never did quite figure out exactly what species they were after but I’m sure anything would do.

BE BRAVE. BE BOLD,
