Shadows slipped across the ocean's surface. The sky was cloudless so it could only be that some great leviathans swam mere inches below the tops of the ocean's swells.
And yet the dark patches in the water were irregular in shape - not attributable to any imaginable sea creature.
As the shadow blotches moved closer I could make out splashes in the water - first one or two at a time, then dozens, then still more. Gradually I came to understand I was seeing the tails of a slew of fish moving in schools so great they darkened the water above.
Along the shore dozens of fisherman cast and reeled, cast and reeled, hoping the lures and bait on their hooks would catch the interest of the migrating schools.
The hundreds and hundreds of fish moved on with total disregard for the lines the fishermen threw - leaving all the fisherman to wonder just what it would take to actually catch their dinner.
