Day 7, 2011/05/08 Guinjata to Tofo

Day 7, 2011/05/08 
Up early, well for me that is. 6 am is very early for me! We are off deep sea fishing, and we are told the fish bite early. What do I know! Anyway, Louis is wearing a T -shirt that reads, "there is a thin line between fishing and sitting around looking stupid". I must admit, i have tried fishing on several occasions and, never caught a thing. Well let's hope today is different. I have always had the idea that game or deep sea fishing is the ultimate form of fishing. 
Well five hours later, and sporting a real Boer tan, we get off the boat with NOTHING! Yeah, not even a bite! Well I guess the upside of the whole experience was that neither David nor myself got sea sick. And, we learnt that deep sea fishing, is much like other forms except, you on a moving boat. Perhaps if we had caught something then, it would have been a different experience. Perhaps us bikers prefer more instant gratification, when we open the throttle, we get instant gratification, which fishing just does not give us.
All in all, many thanks to Piet and Louis for taking us out with them. Definitely something different. After a lovely brunch, and a exchange of email addresses, we are off. Since it is late and, we are tired from been on the boat all morning, we opt for a short ride to Tofo. We eventually find a backpackers/campsite called Fatimas Nest. Ithas loads of backpackers so David and I decide to spend the following day just chilling in Tofo.
