Cruiseport Construction Update 5/16/08

Looks like the first floor is framed up and the plywood is on.  Not much in the way of windows which leads me to believe that it will be LNG storage (not positive about that though)

Below Deck-The Forcastle of The F/V Mistress

Ever wonder what it looks like below deck on some of our fishing fleet?   Here is the galley area below deck on Dave Jackson’s F/V Mistress.  Dave goes part time lobstering and part time hook fishing for cod and haddock.
It’s pretty clean and comfortable down there.  Note the coffee pot on the stove and bread box an the wall.  Also note how sparkling clean the overhead is.  This is one of the cleaner below deck spaces that you will find on a working commercial fishing boat.

Here is the eating quarters below deck aboard the F/V Mistress.  In the left of the picture, the wall is where the pilot house starts.  Along the wall there are some books and dvds.  A jigging rig is ready to go.

The Bean and Her Sleeping Pet Bee

The Mrs caught a bee on the porch and put it in a container for the Bean.  Well wouldn’t you know that bee died fell asleep.  He’s been taking a long nap and The Bean has been carrying him around everywhere talking to him.  I guess the folks at the Post Office think she’s a little strange, lol.

Lobstermen Truck Series- John Herrick

Lobstermen Truck Series- John Herrick

Here is John Herrick skipper of the lobsterboat Bluegrass and waterfront director at the Annisquam Yacht Club. The Bluegrass is a 22 foot Novi skiff out of Annisquam.

His truck is a Chevy with a spray in liner, and a bed rail rack system that allows the rack to be adjusted forward or back. Pretty convenient.

John is a disciple of the Tony Gross bait management system where he dumps his stinky bait into totes with no holes which prevents the bait juice from dripping into the truck and stinking it up.
