What a strange morning! There was no fisherman at either Senjojiki in Mitsu and Maruiwa in Owashi, two of the most popular fishing spots in those areas. It was so unusual that I even wondered whether today was not Sunday but Monday. I didn't go to either of them but instead went to the in-between, Saruwatarijima in Owashi. The reason why I went to that small island was the fact that the water behind Saruwatarijima was calmer and suitable for swimming. Those fishermen who were absent today might have known in advance that there would be no fish at all this morning.
（なんて不思議な朝でしょう！ 御津の千畳敷も大芦の丸岩も、人気の釣り場なのに、釣り人の姿がないのです。あまりの珍しさに、今日は日曜日ではなく月曜日なのだろうかとさえ思いました。私はそのどちらにも行かず、それらの中間にある大芦の猿渡島という小島に行きました。猿渡島の裏の海は穏やかで、泳ぐのに適しているというのがその理由です。今日お休みしていた釣り人たちは、今朝は海に魚が全くいないことを、あらかじめ知っていたのかもしれません。）
