In Crater Bay there are dozens of these small boats every morning fishing with nets for the days catch with local boys chatting to one another and will paddle\/sail very close to your boat on their way back to shore&#8230;.always wave!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div
