Break in the clouds on long sandy beach

Today in Hoi An I got up early to catch the basket boat fishermen casting off to finally catch some fish as the sun finally seems to be trying to make an appearance.

Sure enough, some men are pushing their round boats into the waves.
They paddle to get out to the deeper waters, but as the boat is round and the waves are strong, one guy just keeps getting pushed down the beach.

These basket boats are iconic in central vietnam and I find them especially interesting.

They are woven water-proofed baskets that fit one or 2 people and have no stern nor bow!
