Mending his net

Our favorite fisherman now has a name: "Masterville Toussaint." We told his co-hort, Austin Harris, Friday morning when we stopped to watch the "master" mend his net that he must be the supervisor. He grinned approval. How could anyone not fall in love with fishermen!



Each stitch and knot must make a perfect square "or it will not be right at the end!" Masterville's 85-year-old fingers fairly flew from knot to knot. Amazing what can be accomplished with so little! All he needed was a small kitchen knife, which he sharpens with a "file," and his wooden bobbin.
