High tide is a good time for repairing nets at a fishing camp on the northernmost part of Bartolomeo Dias Point. Most of the occupants are young men who camp on the estuary side of the peninsula and fish on the seaward side with nets and old motors mounted on wooden boats. They sell their catch of dried sardines for the equivalent of $1/kg at a village on the mouth of the Save River. The Peninsula used to be much longer than it is now, but a cyclone some ten years ago cut the coast into a series of islets and promontories that have no road connection to the mainland.
