Goa - Fishing in Mandovi River

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

I noticed these three fishing boats in the waters of Mandovi River. 

These guys spend a entire day in the waters waiting for a good catch. Patience is virtue. These guys prove it. 

I hope they get a good catch at the end of the day. As fishing is the only source of income for them.

I have never done fishing, hope to do it someday, I know it requires a lot of patience. Someday I will. 

Windmills at Devgad

Saturday, March 8, 2014

From Devgad Beach there is a staircase that leads to the Windmills.

The staircase is a bit tiring but the view from up here, is worth the climb. 

Windmills at Devgad

 This place offers a beautiful view of the sea, the beach, the cliff on the other end of the beach and Devgad Fort and the Lighthouse in its premises.

We could see the light from the lighthouse clearly from here though it was far away in a distance.

The windmills here are not functioning. Many are broken down with blades and motor scattered all over the place.

As the sun was setting we located a few fishing boats in a distance, maybe there were heading back ashore after a hard days catch.

Fishing boats in the Sea

We had bhel while watching the sun go down in the water. The bhel was amazing. 

It was nice to see the sun go down from the cliff and to see the effect of the rays of the sun on the land we then headed off to our hotel calling it a day. 

Malvan Beach in Malvan

Monday, February 24, 2014

Standing on the Malvan Jetty gave me an amazing view of the land and the sea.

The Sindhudurg Fort parked itself in a distance clearly visible to my naked eye. The Front of the fort was so wide; I could gauge how big the fort actually was standing at the Jetty.

Malvan Beach was very colorful. Photos shot here are good enough to be kept as desktop wallpapers. 

Beautiful view of Malvan Beach. 

 The beach had white sand with green waters lashing on it. I missed the heavy rush of water gushing on the shores here. This place was like a haven for fishing boats. They were parked both on the white sands and the green waters of the sea . The white sands were covered with coconut trees so dense that I could hardly see through it.

The seas were very clear as I managed to see the bottom of the sea. A few rocky patches too could be seen in the sea. What I liked most is the color of the water in the sea. The green colored water was very refreshing to my eyes. It was basically because of the vegetation.  

Another view of Malvan Beach

There is a jetty erected on the Malvan Beach, boats plying to Sindhudurg Fort ply from here.

In the evening this place is packed with people, who come to see the sun setting in the waters, boys playing volleyball on the beach and the local fishermen pulling their boats out of the water after a hard day’s work. 

View of the massive Sindhudurg Fort from Malvan

Standing at the jetty gave me a commanding view of the sea and the land. I almost thought as if I was a General here looking after the territory I had. Imagining I had the fort, the sea and the land in my kitty.

But that was my imagination but the reality is that this place is truly beautiful. Do come here in the evening to spend it with the sea.
