Why didn't the fishermen go out in the gulf the morning Kino sold the pearl?

The fishermen didn't go out that morning because they were more interested in Kino's pearl.... they didn't want to miss anything.

And the morning of this day the canoes lay lined up on the beach; the fishermen did not go out to dive for pearls, for there would be too much happening, too many things to see, when Kino went to sell the great pearl.
