  1. Great pictures. Not the weather though. It’s nice to see how bad it can get out there. Not nice for those hauling but for the people who have never been on a lobster boat in the rough stuff. I’m a firm believer in showing all stages of lobstering. Not just the good. Maybe may make some land people appreciate everything a lobsterman goes through to get that magnificent catch. And maybe turn them on to lobstering. It worked for me 20 years ago. I really learned to appreciate lobstering.
