A Sneak Peek at the St Paddy’s Windows Downtown!
Take a walk downtown and see if you can locate these St. Patrick’s Day displays before we post the poll. It will give you a chance to see the actual windows and visit some of the store owners and their employees. 
I talked with many of them today and they would like you to consider shopping downtown. There’s incredible items in all of these stores.
And the kids from Art Haven had a ball decorating their windows for the competition.
Go downtown and check it out!

The Bean Chases Birds, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
One of the Bean’s favorite pastimes on the beach- chasing gulls. She would run and run and run. I’d just keep telling her she was really close to getting them and she woud keep on chasing.

Tholepin
Thole or Tholepin
one of a pair of wooden pins set upright in the gunwale on either side of a rowing boat to serve as a fulcrum in rowing [Old English tholl]
Tholepin rhythm up the sound,
Leathern fingers grip eight foot oars,
Keen eyes watch along the shores
For bobbing bottles and wooden buoys
Carved with a name and a number that
Holds a tarred warp to a bedroom trap.
Drop and swish, then up the sound,
By noon to row the string around
Tholepin rhythm up the sound.
-Richard O. Bickford of Winter Harbor, Maine

Crab Traps, Naples Fl
Crab traps are very similar to lobster traps but are square shaped instead of rectangular. They also have the openings on the top of the trap and do not have knitted heads like a lobster trap.

Many Gloucester fishermen have fished out of Naples at one time or another, mostly longlining for swordfish back in the day. Mark Ring has a few great stories he tells from his days fishing in this port, none of which I can repeat here.

Crab Traps, Naples Florida
They pour cement in the bottom of the crab traps so they will land bottom first once set off the boat. This way they will fish properly. Very few lobstermen pour cement in the bottom of lobster traps but I have seen it here and there. The prefered method of weighting a lobster trap is with bricks. This is another difference between lobster traps and crab traps.

Here’s Patty an owner at Two Sisters Breakfast joint on the top of Washington Street across from The Joan of Arc statue. She’s got quite a sense of humor. She doesn’t even charge extra for the laughs!

Naples Longliner Donna Marie Longline Set Up
The heavy monofilament line is wrapped around the spool. It goes up and through the blocks and out the stern of the boat with clips of mono and individual hooks on them. Hopefully each hook has a fish on it!
