New life jackets!
The Senegalese government is now sending out their Coast Guard (la Marine) to check that all the boats have fishing licenses and that all the fishermen have life jackets. We had some but needed more.

Mimi - our third pirogue
We needed one last pirogue, a smaller one which would pull the cord to close the nets around the fish. We had been borrowing one, and it was just a matter of time before that arrangement would falter. We started building Mimi April 12 and she was finished in about two weeks. As soon as OWEN comes back from Kayar, we will return the smaller pirogue to the owner, and start using Mimi.
