Bantioc "Look Ma!"



"... Look what Papa and I caught!"

It's a very old tradition among families of Bantioc, tracing its roots long before the mighty Imperial Navy was a twinkle in the eyes of the island dwelling Arinos.

A rite of Passage of young Arinos boys to set out into the open ocean with his father or grandfather to bring back home a meal worthy to feed the entire village. 

A tradition kept alive even after some three thousand years to set out into the deep blue sea to catch that what marks him as an adult.

Happy Fathers' Day, Marcus! Always proud of his Alexander, the chip off the old block!
