  5. That was fantastic Kim. I love the honesty of the lobstermen you captured, and the way you pieced it all together. It inspires me to do better with my camera. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the guys working and unloading on Captain Joe’s dock.

    1. This means so much coming from you–thank you (for readers who do not know–pclb, or Pat, is Joey’s Mom and Frankie’s Aunt). Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your beautiful family.

      Interviewing the lobstermen was Joey’s idea and he was directing in the midst of loading and unloading the boats. Whenever i am at the dock filming, no matter what time of day, I am always struck by how extraordinarily hard Joey and Frankie, and all the guys work–from the pre-dawn hours until sunset, and then some, yet still have a sense of humor and banter nonstop. Joey and Frankie and the lobstermen are the truly amazing!

    1. Thank you Eric. Sean, and all the lobster guys I have met through Joey, all have a great sense of humor and are wonderfully good-natured, despite their long days and strenuous work.

    1. Thank you Tuffy-means much that you liked the video. I defer to you and will keep Sean’s words a mystery, no worries.

      I loved your video about v-notching females-very interesting and i would like to know more about it. And i would be interested to know when you have Monarch and unusual bird sightings on the water.

      Happy Thanksgiving to you-I hope you have a wonderful day!
