Jay Albert knew the answer to this, but said he’d let someone else get it. So…Pat answered “at the launching ramp behind the high school” which, of course, is the right answer. Congratulations, Pat! Next week’s gotta be harder!
Here, Stoga showcases a new fishing industry innovation for gillnetters aboard Mike Leary’s Lori B. This hydraulic net setter eliminates the jobs of two men for setting the net back out on gillnetters. The machine automatically spreads the net and sets it with the hydraulic motor (highlighted with the yellow arrow). It glides back and forth to set nets from either side of the boat, port or starboard by gliding along the rails (highlighted by the black arrows).
Video tomorrow at 1PM

I got a gel cover for the phone and it comes with these clear plastic sheets to protect the screen. There are little numbers in the upper corners with no instructions. I figure I can do this. Wrong! Air bubbles and dust on the now repositioned protector. When I got home, I googled and got a video explaining the whole thing. If it’s that hard to do, how am I ever going to figure out how to shut off the alarm!!??

Jay swung by the dock and took me for a quick ride through Smith Cove (Rocky Neck) past the North Shore Art Association, Beacon Marine, and all the way around past the restaurants, boats and Marine Railway. Jay has a bad ass 300mm zoom lens and it was fun fooling around with that for a bit. I have major lens/camera envy. I take pretty decent photographs but can only imagine how much better they could be with a good camera like Jays.
I made a three part video series which will debut tonight at 8PM
