"Pher yun hua k sawan aankhon me aa basay thay".

Soon the weather start turning rough.Dark clouds started to frighten us.Strong winds started blowing.Waves started showing attitude and shaking the boat. Drizzling started and water level continue to rise, giving us a message to turn back.

As you can see in the pics and compare with previous pics, the rampage of waves.
so we lift our anchors and move back towards port.

The small pieces of land started to disappear in water.

All fishes, crabs, shrimps and birds, who came here all the way for us. Please accept our appologies. Sorry for not meeting you.

On our way back.

Fishing boats going for the night. They will go hundreds of miles in deep sea and throw their nets. Wait whole night and then lift the nets in morning. If had a good catch then return back, if not they will move forward to another destination. Normally they return back in 3-4 days.

The most interesting thing about these fishermen is that, i have travelled with them in open sea. At points where there is nothing else visible, only water on your all sides. They remember the places in sea and routes without any nevigation equipment. The captain of the launch, who is called Nakoa (urdu; Nakhuda) are such experienced people that in the pitch black night, where even your hand is not visible, in the middle of the sea, they know where to turn and which is the destination. Even in dark nights they can tell where the big catch is and where to drop the net.

We entered the port area.

We reached the harbour.

Note the mood of the sea.:mad:

As we returned back before time, so we had plenty of time left. We decided to spent some time on the lovely harbour and enjoy the lovely weather.

I got some more time to take some lovely shots..

good to see, sea

As it was not enough, so the party decided to have some more "Beizzati" from the fishes. So they again took their fishing hooks and I took the camera.

These people missed the boat, now they want to go by car :-!

This Seagul caught more fish then us

Friends! just feel the rage of the sea. The thrust of waves. Pics taken from the same place with the difference of a couple of hours.

Sprite (Sprite) 2012-04-10 04:41:44 +0500 #50

Some Good bye shots.

Infact, this harbour is un-believably neat and clean. Not commonly used. If you have seen other harbours, here you dont feel like you are in Pakistan.

The harbour has such a soothing view, calm and quite, refreshing and cool breeze, rythem of waves. A "Shairana" Ambiance.
I have not seen such a romantic harbour. You feel like you are in a Hollywood movie. Spend some time here and you are just carried away.

Must visit, atleast for Karachiiets.

Very entertaining and funny script written!!!! Well Done. Specially Titanic scene, if you could make the same bird style, it would be more funny. The other missing thing is the pictures of the fish which you hve mentioned you caught. Please post the pics of the fish.

Sprite (Sprite) 2012-04-12 09:18:47 +0500 #53

Thanks Farhan,

No need to get disappointed. Insha Allah we will arrange the same trip again, with you definately, Aap ne tu bohat izzat ke sath shikayat ki hy. Baqi dost jinhon ne ye thread dekha hy, unhon ne jo Izzat afzai ki hy, wo yahan likny k qabil nahi. :-#

Tariq bhai, Thanks for your liking and comments. Agar Kate Winslet aa jati tu no wonder main hawa me bhi ur jata But agar akaila aisa karta tu hathon per seagulls aa kar baith jaty There were plenty of them at that time.

Secondly I didnt take any pics of the fish. Actually at fishing time I was just wandering around the boat and climbed on the roof top of the boat taking land scape shots and zooming islands. On the other hand I was jealous with the boss, catching fish :S Thats why I didnt ......:$:$

This time two Pak Wheelers had a Boating, Fishing, Crabing, Bird watching, etc.ing trip to Arabian Sea and Mangroves forest near Karachi.
<o:p></o:p>
We have a beautiful treasure of Mangroves forests delta and some virgin islands and beautiful sandy beaches, not far from Karachi. This treasure is not hidden, but ignored. Even Karachiiets are not bothered to go there and discover (Cuz, Ghar ki murghi hy). <o:p></o:p>
There are a number of inhabitant in these forests like soul fish, mud fishes, eight species of crabs, tiger shrimps, fish eating birds etc. etc. Some of the species are not found anywhere. (Now also not found here). <o:p></o:p>
“The Indus Delta extends to an area of approximately 600,000 hectares of which 160,000 consists of mangrove forests. These are unique in the sense that they are considered to be the largest area of arid climate mangroves in the world”.<o:p></o:p>
“There are about 100 identified species of fin-fish and crustaceans that breed in these waters and 25 of them have commercial value”.

<o:p></o:p>
