Six A.M. in Tiberias

Spoken Word Recording

Good morning. It's a little after six here in Tiberias.

Quiet one today. The water's flat, hardly moving at all. I was down by the shore around five, just before we came on air, and there were maybe three boats out. Four. Yossi was out past the breakwater, the one with the grey dinghy, you know the one. He waved. Didn't say anything, just waved.

Nobody caught much, far as I can tell. One fella near the promenade pulled in a small one, I didn't see what kind, he put it back. The musht aren't running like last week. Maybe the temperature, maybe not. Who knows.

The wind's coming off the west side, light. Should pick up later, maybe not. It's warm already though. You can feel it.

Aviva brought the coffee in this morning so it must be Thursday.

Anyway.

pause

We're here. Another morning.

That's something, isn't it. Just the lake doing what it does.

Right. So if you're heading out later, the south end near the kibbutz was where the birds were sitting, so maybe there. Or not. You know the lake better than me.

Tomorrow same time. Bring a jacket, they're saying it'll be cooler.

Okay. That's the morning. Go on, get your day started.
