The stilts that these fishermen use are handed down through the generations and are highly prized.
Sadly, the day we went the sea was heavily polluted with the oil from a cargo ship that sank Titanic style a few days before. It has ruined much of the coast to the east of Unawatuna.
Taking a photo of these guys comes at a price and we did feel a bit guilty about getting them to pose in such disgusting water, but as their livelyhood has been ruined by the oil it was possibly the only money they were going to make that day.
