Watching from India. I enjoy watching all your vlogs they are very interesting. You show the real beautiful Sri Lanka. I have spent a lot of time in this Gods own country. I loved every moment this very beautiful country
This canal is called Hamilton canal. Good old days duch use this canal to transport goods from putlam to Colombo and Colombo to putlam. Its more than 150 km long. These days Fisher folks use this cannel to go to ocean and mainly for fishing. These are very nice people. Very friendly. Unfortunately because the language barrier they can't express all what they want you to know. But very intelligent. With few words they explain about the activities. Have a safe trip ❤from SRI Lanka 🇱🇰
5:45 bread fruit (dhel) දෙල් We cook them with cocontut milk as a curry, boil them and eat with cocontut and chillies, deep fried them and eat as a snack.
The fisherman has a line that's 3km long and then they put bait on all the hooks on branch lines attached to main line. It's called long lining. They'll put the line out and let it sit for a day, maybe two and then pull the line in. Common way to catch tuna amongst other species. I worked on a big longliner in Australia 30 years ago. Our mainline was 60km long and we attached 3000 lines to it! Catching big tuna for Japanese sashimi.
Least the local were kind to offer you a boat ride along the canal.... exploring the local life & their livelihoods and giving them a tip at the end. Nice gesture. As always, thanks for showing us around and sharing these stories as well. Stay safe , be vigilant , take care mate.
great vlog. even though my father's family is from near negombo and some of cousins are fishers ,I did not know what these boat men do. they seem to speak Tamil and Singhalese, as did my father. The canals were developed by the Dutch and along the canal there were Dutch descendants living until recently. many were in the police service.
Hi Ken Those fisherman keep there fishing hooks in the box When they go out in the sea Each hook is hanged with a piece of fish then it's all connected in a rope They call it the line it's 3 km long
What a lovely and interesting boat ride along the Dutch Canal with 2 friendly local fishermen. Wonderful to learn and see their way of earning a living like selling fishing hooks, making fishing nets and maybe mending torn fishing nets. Yeah, the locals there are indeed very friendly and welcoming...👍👍 Aha...a typical question commonly asked : " Are you married?" The answer was in the previous video "l am too young to marry" 😀😄 Please watch that video if any of you haven't !! Thank you, Ken for another beautiful video. Cheers 💪
Hi Ken 👋🏻 what a lovely day cruising on a local boat along the Dutch canal , quite a long canal. It is connecting from Puttalam to Colombo passing through Negombo 👍 the fishermen were so friendly and offered you on their boat and like always so kind of you to give them some tips 👍🙏🏻 I love that your hotel is located beside the canal , nice one Ken 👍🥰
It was the first time I saw the canal though I had heard of it. It's like sailing along Venice in Italy. Beautiful. Sometime if you can let the camera roll while quietly you sail absorbing all the goodness comes out as a wow factor video.
Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for sharing your lovely cruise along d canal. And d surroundings around d canal, surprisingly, it's quite clean n serene.
Love the most to follow your you tube in Srilanka. You show innocent people hearth not from beautiful face , girl only men need, or physical. But People stay in difficult life how they survive, we appreciate from you teach the world, reuduce our desire , greedy and material things.
Yoo Ken, on ur visit to jaffna try to visit anuradhapura and pollonnaruwa too to experience sri lankan history connected to buddhism. Enjoy and stay safe 🙏🏼 ❤
Such a clean canal respect to our fello country men and women for keeping that way I visited the Chennai long city canal/river, sadly its polluted and smells horrible I wish the city municipality take severe actions against those who violates the Nature
bro, wasn't that canal smelly? when the last time I was there to my uncles home the canal was nasty and filled with garbage. now it seems good. Ken I love your video very much. ❤️
Take the train to Mannar island if you like to explore the fishing community in sr Lanka. Most of them are located in negombo to Mannar region. Mannar is a must see if you have time. Use the railway map of Sri Lanka as guide to travel
Hiya ken the men on the boats where mending there nets what are damaged and them lines with all the hooks on there called long lines and he puts them out at sea with bait on the fish are called line caught he wasn't selling them my freind
Hi ken they are not selling hucks thats for fishing ,it fix to fishing line .that fish they cut and fix to the hucks and put the line to sea to catch the fish.👍
Ken, they use all of those hooks when fishing. One long line is put in the water and they bait each individual hook. At either end they drop a float. Then they wait 4-5 hours before pulling back in the long line with hopefully very many fish attached (caught). They aren't selling the hooks...the 300 rupees is what they're paying for them. The other men fish with their nets.... fish such as sharks tear holes in the nets as well as them getting caught on coral and rocks lying on the bottom of the ocean. They were mending the holes from previous fishing trips. Most if not all of those boats are used for commercial fishing. Some fish caught are kept for personal use but most are sold to fish buyers who in turn sell them to local markets for resale or export the fish to other countries around the world.

Hey Ken, Been following quite a few videos of Sri Lanka. I have a travel planned soon. Could you please help me with how safe it is currently to travel there keeping in mind the sudden economic crisis it's hit with. Thanking you.
That is interesting to learn that people even ask from men whether they are married! Thought this question is only posed for women 😊 hey! Good to see that it is an equal opportunity question.
Hey ken, compared to other south asian countries, most of the sri lankans have better english communication skills bro. If you go to india, pakistan or bangladesh most of the people like those boat drivers may not speak any english word even. Sri Lanka has higher literacy but some corrupted politicians ruining the country 💔
True, but on the other hand very very few Sri Lankans speak good English, even the educated ones such as doctors, while in India educated people speak fantastic English. Many people in India are illiterate compared to Lanka, but on the other hand their better schools are better than anything existing in Sri Lanka. Have spent 3 years in each of the 2 countries.
Dutch canals History Srilanka It was the coloial Portuguese (my dad country)Settlers who initiatrd thè Conststrion of inland Wsterways (1505up to1656)It was Dutch Who established Systerm of Canals in Srilanka During three hundred years after 1500s

Thanks for explaining 👍
I was about to explain this but thanks for thhe comment. This method of fishiing is also the most sustainable compared to nets and other methods.
that was exactly fisherman was telling him. he don't sell them, he is using them for fishing..
Good job Ken staying around and promoting their tourism since Sri Lanka is suffering a crisis.

@@KenAbroad Oh that's such a relief!!! Thank you for the reply! 😊
3 Kilometers of line fishing for tuna..300 rupees is cost for the hooks. those are their tools for over night line drop fishing in ocean.
Have a nice day ken🙏

The other side of the canal is way more beautiful
Stay safe ken 🥰
