Star of the Sea
"Estrela do Mar" (Star of the Sea) is one of the last boats that still practice the traditional fishing technique of Arte Xávega in the coast of Figueira da Foz, Portugal.
Once thrown into the sea, it is time to pull the fishing nets to land and take the small prize of such great effort.
This is their summer routine.
