How comes I pack light? One input maybe have been when I during my (late) formative years visited Cuba. I was very impressed by these Cuban fishermen who went fishing sitting on an inner tube and propelling themselves with flippers on the feet.   The ultimate in Compact Fishing Craft? They had everything needed within reach. This guy is heading out for an all night expedition on the ocean.   Arriving at the water they carried all their gear in a small pack on the back.   These brave guys catch sharks up to three meter in length on hand line! They go as far as 1.5 miles, 2 km,  from the coast. If an offshore wind starts to blow it may be the last fishing trip. I probably got a booster when I was at Dal Lake in Kashmir, India. A upper class house boat some  30 by 10 feet, 9 by 3 m, was tied up at the jetty. It had flower pots outside the windows.   I could look inside and was a bit amazed at the lack of furniture. All there was was a wooden chest and a roll of bedding!

It was really hot. I desperately needed a big fan. I couldn't find a one so I took a small one and stapled on some fifty $ 10 (local) bills.   No not really. I bought it and it is meant as a gift to the monastery.
