Read Kelley’s story: They eat cold fried snapper for breakfast. Taso shaves with saltwater and enjoys the sting. He says “buenos dias” to Louie the sun and plays with his dog, but his mood is falling. He found healthy sponges 40 miles from home, but not many, not enough. Jason has work tomorrow, and it’s time to head back.
Taso will make about $250, enough to pay for his groceries but not his gas. This trip wasn’t so much about finding sponges as finding answers, and now he has some. He knows not to bother with the spots he loves close to home. Travel farther. What he will do next year, he isn’t sure.
