You're listening to Nokter. I'm Vanessa Lowe.

On the southwest tip of the island of Great Britain lies Cornwall, a peninsula

edged by steep rocky cliffs topped with rolling green sheep pastures.

The tiny village of

Mevegizi in the south was once a major fishing port. It has a tradition of

boat building going back to the early 1700s. Today the village typifies the quintessential charming tourist

destination with colorful wooden boats bobbing in the harbour below restaurants and

ice cream parlors. But there are still some working fishing boats, manned by seasoned weathered fishermen.

They're holding on to an almost forgotten way of life,

one that ties their livelihood to the whims of nature, with all of the thrill and

hardship that goes along with it. Their lives are governed by tides and weather and

time. A fisherman goes out where and when the fish are, day or night. There's nothing else to it.

Roy, what do you want to do?

I want to interview.

Watch up getting on board to come over.

Which way?

That way, okay.

My name is Malcolm Saunders from Mevigizzy.

Mevigizzy, a little tiny fishing harbour in Kormel in the UK. I've been fishing, that's all I've ever done,

you know just fishing, that's all I do, that's all I know. You know it's mad life, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Malcolm pulled his boat up to meet me in the inner harbor where children were catching small crabs with nets bought from local shops.

Right, here we go.
