Fisherman and his boat Natural Pool in March/April

In the months of March – April it’s very windy here in Aruba and that
can be seen at the Natural Pool in the Arikok National Park. The
pool get its water from the waves splashing on the rocks and in that
way they fill the pool but in these months it is dangerous at this pool.
Don’t go on the north side of the pool because you can get hurt if
you fall down between the rocks. It’s fantastic to look at but don’t
go close the northern rocks.

My grandfather was a fisherman and as kid growing up we used to go to his house and listen
to his stories and we were all amazed by his stories far away on the deep sea. By selling fish
he paid for my father’s education and till today I love photographing fisherman and do have
big respect for them risking their lives on the sea so we can have fresh fish. Here in Aruba we
do have many companies giving the service for half-day deep-sea fishing or full day and
sure you will love the experience.
