Angela Rose Net Reel
Angela Rose Net Reel, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Here is a view from the stern of the Angela Rose looking at it’s net wheel. What you see coiled around the net reel in this picture is the wire that will be attached to a net when it is fully wound on.
Then when the skipper sets out the net it unwinds off of this net reel into the ocean. So if you hear a skipper on the vhf radio saying he just “set out”, it doesn’t mean he just left the dock. It means he just set out the net.

I’m not sure who is responsible for planting the flowers in the flower boxes on Rocky Neck, but if anyone knows, please inform me so I can do a little story of appreciation for them.
