Piriapolis and its fishing boats

The fishing boats in Piriapolis are being discovered by tourists as a sightseeing place.

The fishermen are busy as heck this time of the year, with everybody wanting their corvina (hake), lenguado (flounder), brotola (?) for lunch or dinner. Many crews clean their fish just after docking - that's why the water closest to the dock looks like soup!

The smaller boats look tired under the strong light. We have had a very warm Summer.

I like the boats in black and white. The mooring lines, reflections and empty spaces are best appreciated when there is no color.

Some boats have people's names and keep company to each other, as old friends. Others wait for their next job in a tight formation.
