Photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — This is nearly the best of all endings. The wind is down, no pirates in sight, and there, in the net, is a fish. It’s not big, not small. Certainly it could have been larger, and yes, there might have been more. But, rejoice. The day is done and here is meat. You notice the fish’s eyes do not catch the colors of sunset. They are filmed over, reflecting nothing, gray as beach glass, which means the fish has been a while in the net. It’s too dead to sell, but not too dead for eating. So, dinner. Or breakfast! Really it depends on your wife. Probably she’ll want to feed the children in the morning. We drift out of the reeds and pull up alongside your canoe. The boats knock softly. A band of bright blue beads encircles your thready bicep. Out there birds are crying. Have you caught anything else? I ask, and you smile and say No, nothing, and then there is nothing else to say. So we sit a few moments, all of us together, silent, and watch the sun sink behind distant mountains. Soon it is too dark for note-taking and photography, but before the light has gone completely you stand and cast the net. Old Coke bottles will keep it afloat overnight. It’s like a coin toss, and tomorrow you’ll return early. No matter what you find—something, or nothing—you’ll cast again. Is this faith? You shrugged and said Everyone has their work. Then you turned and poled home. It was one of those rare evenings: empty of expectation. You were steady at twilight, last man on the water. Heading back happy to the same old beach.
This is Neil's final dispatch from Kenya’s Lake Turkana. Thank you all for joining us! In the next few days we’ll follow up with a couple of behind-the-scenes shots, and we hope to be back soon with more stories—if we can convince our bosses @ナショナルジオグラフィック to keep this concept alive. You can find the entire series archived at #NGwatershedstories, and please follow us @randyolson and @neilshea13 for more.
