Susie Byrd Back On Track
After Susie’s little setback which you can read about by clicking this highlighted text, she has been nothing but the model of the perfect backman. She’s been showing up on time and is back in gear. I called her out as having strike one for being a no-show for work that day but her boss Johnny “Doc” Herrick called it a check swing.

Jud McCarthy- 92 Years Young
Here is Jud McCarthy, father of our lobsterman John McCarthy who owns the Tin Lizzy. The other day John and Jud pulled up after a long day lobstering in not-so-perfect conditions and Jud was head aqnd shoulders down in the lobster tank unloading it
Now I know how broke up my body feels at 40. I can’t even imagine doing the kind of work required to go lobstering at ninety two years old. This is one tough old bird.

Susie Byrd Strike Count -1
OK, here’s the story behind this picture.
Susie Byrd has been fishing out of Gloucester for 3 years now. She has been one of the most consistent backmen on our lobsterboats and has been doing a great job of showing up on time and pushing her skipper Johnny “Doc” Herrick to fish harder.
Yesterday she had a little setback.
She was a no show for the first time. Eventually she got down to the boat and they got the day in fishing but there was no way I was going to let her off easy.
This morning in the office with all the boys I gave her an option. She could hold up the sign saying “Susie Byrd Strike Count 1” and let me take the picture or I would ride her about being a no show after I’ve been singer her praises to anyone who would listen about how great she has been as far as reliability and work ethic.
She chose to pose for the picture.

Explorer II Rudder
Check out the bad ass rudder on The Explorer II. She is going back in the water this morning so I was glad I got to the Railways early to get the shot before it was under water.
Who goes through the trouble to paint racing flames on a Runner that is going to spend 99.9 percent of it’s time under water?
AWESOME!
