Magnificent Maldives

Last night we had the opportunity to take part in a night fishing excursion as guests of the resort owners. We left the dock at about 5:30pm so we could be over a carefully selected portion of the reef by sunset. We traveled in a traditional Maldivian fishing boat called a Dhoni.

The scenery was beautiful which more than made up for the fact that almost everyone except Tanya and I caught a fish. Even Madelyn caught a nice size reef fish with a little assistance from the very kind-hearted resort owner, Mr. Shiyam, who could see the obvious disappointment on Madelyn’s face when the fish stole her bait for the third time. We will post video of Madelyn with her catch as soon as possible.
