Scallopers Sequel — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Yesterday was a windy afternoon, so the scallop boats were contending with a chop.

The scallops must be shucked and bagged on the way in, before landing …
… no matter how unstable the working platform. The gulls were happy.
Coming and going, working toward the short season’s quotas.
Powering through.
Further along toward the breakwater, still shucking.
Larger boats headed back out, with outriggers to deploy the dredges.
Scallopers aren’t the only boats out there this month.
It’s lumpy for everyone, even though coming in is downwind.
