The work never ends on a Fish Farm

The healthiest way to loose work is hard physical labour. Here on a fish farm, work is never ending. Just like on board a yacht, there's always something that needs cleaning, repair & improving. It's back breaking work but somebody's got to do it. To add to the hardship, you always at the mercy of the blazing sun, wind & waves. I concluded that it's always fun to visit a fish farm, but never easy to work on one.
Foreign workers are tough & focused solely on work. A great help indeed.

Working from dawn to dusk and still more work to do
A real working farm is seldom clean & neat, but they work
