Lobstermen Truck Series- Scott Horne
Lobstermen Truck Series- Scott Horne, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
In today’s edition of Lobstermen Truck Series we feature Scott Horne and his GMC Sierra pick up. This is a big ol truck. Note the extended cab to lug Scott’s boys around and full size bed which he uses to transport trap to and from the dock to repair and store them.
Scott works at Gloucester Engineering and part time lobster fishes. He has had his boat The Touch of Grey for over ten years and has gotten his money’s worth out of that boat I’ll tell you that. In the summer it isn’t unusual for him to use his lobsterboat for double duty of pleasure (going up the river) and then lobstering along the way.
Here Scott is putting on a load of gear.

The Mrs’ Brocolli Salad Recipe
Broccoli, Bacon, Onion, Cheese Salad, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
From The Mrs after many emails asking for the recipe-
Brocolli Salad Recipe:
(I don’t add the raisins or the sunflower seeds, but I do add 1 pkg shredded Cheddar Cheese and instead of the green onions, I use 1 large red onion)
* 1 pound bacon
* 4 cups broccoli florets
* 5 green onions, chopped
* 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
* 1/4 cup golden raisins
* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
DIRECTIONS
1. Place bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Cool, crumble, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, toss together broccoli, green onions, sunflower seeds, raisins, and bacon.
3. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sugar, and red wine vinegar. Toss with vegetables to coat. Cover, and chill until serving.
Joey adds-
She didn’t say this part but I remember her mentioning that if she is having a party she chops up all the ingredients and puts them in the fridge the night before in separate containers and then mixes them together just before serving to maintain the crispness of the veggies.

Here is the view from the wheelhouse looking directly toward the stern of the Western Venture. Note the enormous winches that will haul the nets in from the ocean. Hopefully full of herring.

Fence Down Between Lat 43 and Fishermen’s Wharf
Fence Down Between Lat 43 and Fishermen’s Wharf, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The fence has been taken down between Latitude 43 and Fishermen’s Wharf.
I don’t know if Fishermen’s Wharf has been purchased by McDonough and Co, but it seems that way. There are still signs up in the Fishermen’s Wharf parking lot that say “authorized parking only” but it looks like the lot has been cleared and cleaned up for restaurant parking.
We went last night to use one of the Where The Locals Go Lat 43 buy two sushi rolls and get a free California Roll coupon and we parked in the Fishermen’s Wharf lot. The public walkway between Fishermen’s Wharf and Lat 43 is complete with some interesting pavers and the deck is certainly inviting. I took some pictures this morning at 4:45AM from the observation deck in front of Lat 43. Its a pretty good view if you are into the industrial harbor thing. Got some shots of the dorys that Damon uses and are tied up on the Saint Peter’s Marina floats.
