Salted fish left to dry under the sun

The fresher ones attracted more flies and wasps than the drier ones

Bigger fishing boats at Jeti Nelayan Parit Lapis Sayang. These boats go out to sea for 3-4 days before returning home hence it is equipped with sleeping quarters and cooking facilities 

We met some young boys at the other side of the riverbank of Sungai Benut

They took us to the nearby jetty @ https://maps.app.goo.gl/7XtQNCpSY6SEA9NC9

Old fishing nets recycled as fences

They brought us to another jetty within their housing area

Definitely very good boys, so polite!
