fishing in Hundeidvik

Here we are on the ferry. As we were in line watching the ferry chug into the landing, we saw one of the crew come storming off the ship with a fishing pole. During the few minutes which cars disembarked and when we drove onto the ferry this opportunistic fisherman managed to haul in 2 mackerel! My uncle Arnstein is a retired ferry captain so I made sure to tell this story when we got here last night. In reply he and my cousin Håvard took us out in their "Fering". It is a very cool wooden rowboat. He says the boat is so steady in the water that he can sit out on it's edge to haul the net in without fear of capsizing it.
This is uncle getting ready to cast the net. We were hoping for crab...

Here is my cousin, Håvard, he's home on leave from the military this week.
After we came in from casting out the nets my uncle told us that it's bad luck to have women along in the boat when you cast out...so we wondered if there would be anything in the nets or not the next morning...
