Fogo 3: Local shacks, stores, stages and sheds
12 February 2010
Fogo’s communities are all shore bound, fishing [still] being the main occupation of the island’s residents. The stages (usually built on the water), stores (on water/land) and sheds (land mostly) were the work and storage buildings dealing with the day to day of fishing, fish gutting, boat building and other woodworking. All stages have a large white dot painted on their door, guiding the fishermen on the docks at nighttime.
