Onboard the longline fishing vessel 'Verde Vale XI'
This cruise, despite the climatic conditions, allowed us to test new configurations of the tori line, making clear the difficulties and peculiarities of each fishing art with distinct regional characteristics.
Through the skippers I have met throughout different regions, specially from the Espírito Santo state, I have had had good opportunity to research and study the special conditions of this particular fleet. This mix of knowledge and different techniques really defines the spirit and soul of the Brazilian fishermen.
However, now they are all anxious for a hot bath and a beer, and so am I.
