#Goa #Fishing #Fisherman

This is the Drone which would be used by Halarnkar and his Men for supposed monitoring of illegal monitoring.

It is manufactured by @ideaforge_tech , but would be operated by a third-party or channel Partner. Pay-Per-Use Model.

Just 20 Kms range. Image
How obnoxiously hilarious this range of 20 Kms on Single-Charge is for Operations in Sea; can be known only by Fishermen. Not Idiots like Fisheries Moneyster Halarnkar and his very sweet fried Director Monteiro.

So basically, Fly-Fly and Earn Money for 3rd Party.
With just 20 Kms Range and a loitering time of just 2 Hours, these VLTO Drones would have to be flied from various locations.
Moneyster Halarnkar did not say, how many would operate and what would be the cost?

By all means, These are Fair-Weather Drones and NOT SPECIALISED for
SEA Operations.

In #Monsoon which could last till Mid-October; they are practically USELESS, given their design. So, no monitoring possible during this time, which is the biggest season for #Fishing in #Goa .

Even if the Drones are flown from various locations, Halarnkar has
only 2 Boats at his disposal. That too, If they are in Working Conditions. One with Fisheries Dept and One with Coastal Police.

So, Technically Boats would have to be located in the same periphery, where the Drones are flying. So that, if any foreign vessel is sighted, ACTION
can happen.

Else, flying Drones at different places won't serve any purpose; but very good for making money.

#Maharashtra did introduce these Drones, but they were being used in Fair-Weather conditions and not in #Monsoon .

Halarnkar is MAKING FOOL of everyone, CM downwards.
The Company on the Product Page of SWITCH UAV says a range of "Upto 15 Kms".

Also, No mention at all of #Maharashtra Pilot, which started in January this year. How the Project went? How effective it was?

Nothing. In fact, the Project itself is not mentioned. @ideaforge_tech Image

🛶🛶 FISHING LOG : Season 2025 🦐🦐

12 | 07 | 2025 : 1930

BOAT (30-Footer) is READY.

DISCO (Shrimp & Prawns Net) is loaded & secured.
Twin 9.9 HP Motors tested, fixed and secured.
WINCH Motor tested & Line Rope cleaned and checked.

All set for tomorrow morning after FL.
As it would be Low Tide at FL (First Light) and no heavy rain forecast; so INGRESS would be easy-peasy (comparatively).

Sea is still rough, but most important is VAARA (Wind) how it behaves.

EGRESS would be very challenging, after 4 Hours; as Tide changes and Wind picks up. Image
Most of the Major Crews have their BOAT readied.
Some are still waiting to see, what happens tomorrow.
If there is reasonable catch of SOLAAR(Shrimp), then by evening, all Boats would be Down at Shore.

Tomorrow is more of a Dip-Stick Test. SKIP is carrying only 2 DISCO Nets.

The REAL WORRY for Traditional Fishermen of #Goa who go out in 30-Footer Boats is that, if these persistent GUST do not stop by 1st August (which seems impossible); not only the INGRESS into the Sea would be very dangerous, but also operating in the Sea.
Even Last Year, Standing at Shore on WASHOUT days; while SEA would be very Rough and poring; there were no GUST.

Even at Sea, while it would be raining, the Wind and GUST were absent. These GUST could be very dangerous at sea, while pulling out Nets, which takes a lot of time.
Entire Sea-bed from Ashvem to Mandream, Arambol and nearby Maharashtra is littered with under-water mountains.

You cast the net, you don't know where the Wind and Current would take it. Only option is to chop the nets when entangled, that too is dangerous in rocking boat.

The whole #Yoga thing in #Goa is 99% Scam and no one knows this better than me, at least in Northern North part.

Gullible Foreigner Girls & Woman fall into Trap because of TTC (Teacher's Training Certificate) lure from #India (the birth-place of Yoga) and starting a vocation. Image
Who authorised these so called "Yogi" and "Guru" to issue a TTC Certificate; and what is it's efficacy, no one knows.

At Morning, these so called "Guru" behave like they are Avatars of Bhagwan Parshuram and rest of day and night, if you see their Conduct; you would be appalled.
One very short ANECDOTE.

One of the local "Yogi" one day, a couple of years back or so called me, as he needed some technical help with his Laptop.

I said, Ok; I would come after preparing my Lunch, he said ok.

He used to stay alone. So, I reached and thought he would be alone

KarmaBhoomi Is MatruBhoomi.

Sad reality is, only a handful of people, respect this dictum.

See, How #Goa has been plundered.

An interesting anecdote from today's, coming below...
Today Morning, As It was raining On and Off Again (Fleeting Rain); Went to the Local Grocery Store run by aboriginal Goan.

It's just a very basic type of Grocery Store, and I buy 90% of my stuff from them. The entire Family is very kind to me, and I am always prioritised.
I was wearing a protective Gear, which doubles up for both Rain and Winter.

So, The Patrao asked me seeing in that gear : "How is the Rain?"

I said, it's wonderful, it has finally started raining again.

Then he said, You know why we call Outsiders "GHAATI" because they dont

Because it's FULL MOON, A Whimsical Career Advice. #Goa

If You take it, You will go very far !

Sir Chetwode's Credo, is not the "Code Of Conduct" for all of #IndianArmy Officers, but it is, as valid and true in Civilian Life.

Look At No.2 and No.3 . Image
🔴 RED FLAG are always talked about in terms of only "Relationship" now.

While Irony is what is your Profession and how Happy you are in it, determines the success of your "relationships". SELF/GF/BF/Wife/Husband/Mother/Father/Daughter/Son .

The biggest tool "Credo".
Again, Look at No.2 and No.3 OF Sir Chetwode's Credo.

Now, compare it with the conduct of your immediate Boss (Btw, We all know the full-form of BOSS) and his/her "Superior" and the guy with Heaviest Brass.

If you see a "pattern" . You need a Parachute, immediately.

🩷🩷 AN ANECDOTE : On GMC Bambolim and it's dedicated Doctors & Staff 🩷🩷

6 Years back, End of May; I received a SOS by a Native #Goa Lady; the Family was an acquaintance.

Last night, She arrived from a Holiday with her Husband hurriedly, in a very critical condition
The Husband had suffered a very critical infection, due to Frostbite on an infected wound due to an injury.
With morbid diseases, he was immediately rushed to GMC Bambolim; where a 3 Hour long Operation was conducted at middle of night, to save him.
Since His two Wards were Small and still away on Holiday; She requested me to accompany her to GMC Bambolim #Goa .

I had an inkling why She requested me. I packed my Sanitary Kit, 2 Tees and 2 Shorts and a Towel; and was ready in 10 minutes. This was about 0900 hrs.
