Day 149: Dissatisfishing

Day 149:

Spent the day fishing and digging up sand. I got caught in an undercurrent a couple of times during the latter, so I lost a little time and a lot of energy to swimming harder than I wanted to swim. But I did catch enough that the space around my fire looks like a fishmonger’s as I dry the meat.

(It’s also stifling hot in there, stinks of fish, and smoky as hell, so it’s a good reason to go elsewhere.)

Watercolor of a grey rectangular furnace with red and grey fish hanging from the ceiling to just above the furnace to dry. The furnace's window is glowing red from the heat.
Drying fish over the heat of a furnace. I’m probably filling myself with carcinogens but as soon as someone finds me here they’ll be able to detox me with their med kids.

This batch of glass seems to be melting more consistently, though, so the sand mining seems to be effective even if the fishing is stinky.
