I got to spend a couple of weeks working in Dili, Timor Leste, right at the beginning of the rainy season.
Every day, fishermen would set out in their double outrigger canoes, to catch small fish using fishing nets.
Sometimes, they would literally be caught out by the intense, torrential rain, and would have to stay off shore until they had retrieved their nets.
Didn't seem to bother them in the least, though.
