Mr. Yakamura likes to get an early start.

"The fishing is always better at sunrise," he meows.

In order to get ready for a long day of fishing, everyone has many tasks they need to perform.

Everyone but Koof that is. Koof only has one task, because she is small.

Mr. Yakamura must plot his course upon the Sea of Japan with the aid of a compass and map.

Yoko must repair the nets and prepare the bait.

Koof's only task is to make sure the boat has enough gas for a long day of fishing.
