What was he doing?[edit]

The article currently states that the fisherman "relieved himself" and links to masturbation. However, that phrase normally refers to urination, and that's what the Lonely Planet source must mean, the important point being that he faced the ocean as he did so - i.e. it was the exposure of his penis that alleviated the curse. (Hence penis sculptures rather than more masturbation.) I haven't looked for source 2, but if it says something similar, the link should be changed or it should be left unlinked, and the wording changed to something like "facing out to sea" rather than "in the ocean". --Yngvadottir (talk) 12:11, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
