帰郷
８月１１・１２・１３日と故郷、隠岐の島に帰って来た。
そうー、今でも行くのではなく帰るのである。その感覚が何なのかよく判らないけれど、誰が何と云おうと行くのではなく、帰るのだ・・・。
従って、帰郷すると、道会う人は、皆がみな「あらー、帰らっしゃんしたかの・・・」と声を掛けてくれる。誰もが、「帰って来た」との感覚しか持っていない。島を離れ４６年になるにも関わらず・・・、不思議なものだね、故郷とは。
帰郷した翌朝（８月１２日 午前５時過ぎ）の日の出。家の縁側から写す・・・。以前は、この縁側から釣りが出来るくらいの海の端であったが、防波堤が作られたため、家からの釣りは無理となった。
海に写る朝日が何とも云えず美しい・・・。
廣太郎を連れての朝の散歩。朝の５時半くらい、この清清しさたるや・・・。
早や６時には船の上・・・。友達の船で釣りに行く。
ポイントに着くや、早速釣りの準備
水深約５０メートル。入れると同時に釣り上げ、写真を撮る余裕なし。一度に真鯛２匹と鯵２匹
以後、鰺と真鯛とカワハギが入れ食い状態・・・
僅か１時間ほどの戦果
大漁旗を掲げ港に帰るや、同級生の彼女がお出迎え・・・。
夜は友人の別邸でバーベキュー
宴のあと・・・
廣太郎はお疲れモード
楽しい楽しい一日であった。田舎は良いな・・・・・。
On August 11, 12, and 13, I came back to my hometown, Oki Island.
Yes, even now, I’m not going, I’m going home. I’m not sure what that feeling is, but whoever says it is, I’m not going, I’m going home…
Therefore, when I returned to my hometown, everyone I met on the street would call out to me, “Oh, you’ve come back…”. Everyone only has a sense of “I’m back”. Even though it’s been 46 years since I left the island … it’s a strange thing, being home.
Sunrise on the morning after I returned home (August 12, just after 5 a.m.). Shot from the porch… It used to be at the edge of the sea where you could fish from this veranda, but because the breakwater was built, it was impossible to fish from home.
The morning sun on the sea is indescribably beautiful…
I took Kotaro for a morning walk. It was about 5:30 in the morning, and it was so crisp and clear…
We’re on the boat as early as 6:00… Go fishing on a friend’s boat.
As soon as you get to the point, you are ready to fish.
The water is about 50 meters deep. I fished it as soon as I put it in and had no room to take a picture. 2 sea bream and 2 horse mackerel at the same time.
After that, we had a lot of horse mackerel, sea bream, and kingfish…
Only about an hour’s worth of fighting.
As soon as I returned to the harbor with a big fishing flag, my classmate’s girlfriend greeted me…
Barbecue at a friend’s private residence in the evening.
After the feast…
Hirotaro is in a tired mode.
It was a fun and enjoyable day. The countryside is nice……..
