Mending Nets- Fishermen At Work

The Fisherman on the right in the picture is Moses.  He has fished for many years on many many boats.  Can you guess why they call him Moses?  This is a nice shot to see blown up.  To view it full screen click the picture and then select “all sizes”.

Mending Nets- Fishermen At Work

See how he has no gloves on?  That’s becase it’s impossible to mend the net and work with twine with clumsy gloves on.  20 degrees and blustery cold is not the type of conditions you want to be mending a net for hours on end in, but a fisherman’s work doesn’t stop for cold or wind.  The show must go on and a tore up net catches no fish.  These guys had been working for three days to repair this net in suck ass conditions, but there really is no other option if they areto get back out making money.

Beautiful Industry- Keep Ernestina Sailing?

I was at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum where I spotted this “Keep Ernestina Sailing” sticker.  That must be one old sticker because it’s been a while as far as I can tell since that beautiful old sled has been under sail.
