At the edge of the shore ,this group of fishermen push their vessel into the restless sea ,the weight of the boat matched by the weight of the duty . Clad in traditional "wezaar" and shirts ,they work in unison ,pressing their frames against the wood ,feet sinking in the sand, trying to gain momentum through grit and groans .for now it is only their strength ,sweat and unity that will carry the vessel forward . This ritual ,repeated daily ,is more than hard work,it is their livelihood .
