Joe Borge Underwater Photography-Lobster
Joe Borge’s underwater photography can be seen at his Lone Gull Coffeehouse in the heart of downtown Gloucester. The colors are so vivid you would swear it was a painting but in fact they are photographs.

Lobster Boat Navigation System Showing Boat at Our Dock, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
You can see the course this boat took and it docked right at our dock in the picture. It’s amazing the accuracy of GPS today, especially when coupled with a navigational system.
Next update at 5:00PM

Lobstermen Truck Series- Scott Horne
Lobstermen Truck Series- Scott Horne, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
In today’s edition of Lobstermen Truck Series we feature Scott Horne and his GMC Sierra pick up. This is a big ol truck. Note the extended cab to lug Scott’s boys around and full size bed which he uses to transport trap to and from the dock to repair and store them.
Scott works at Gloucester Engineering and part time lobster fishes. He has had his boat The Touch of Grey for over ten years and has gotten his money’s worth out of that boat I’ll tell you that. In the summer it isn’t unusual for him to use his lobsterboat for double duty of pleasure (going up the river) and then lobstering along the way.
Here Scott is putting on a load of gear.

Cyber Geisha’s News of the Weird: LOBSTER TASER
She makes my point about who gets to decide what is a humane and not humane way to kill a lobster much better than I do in my video interview with the salesman of The Crustastun at The International Boston Seafood Show.
Click the above link and read her stuff, pretty funny.

Offloading Nets on The Western Venture Herring Boat
Offloading Nets on The Western Venture Herring Boat, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
This Power Block is attached to this truck on a boom. The power block is hydraulically powered to rotate and pull the net up and over the rail of the boat. This type of work used to be done by hand.
Once offloaded the net can be transported by truck to an open space where it can be stretched out and worked on.
Another technological advance which lends marine work to not need to have such a wide footprint on a harbor. That space that used to be needed along waterfronts to repair nets can now be done in covered buildings in industrial parks like Swan Net does up at The Blackburn Industrial Park in Gloucester.

Lobster for Snoop Mad’s Birthday
They were only chicken lobsters but they were just jam packed with meat! Two per person and there were still some left over.

Peter Mullins and I took a stroll around his Western Venture Herring Boat where I got to take some pictures and video of it’s wheelhouse, the living quarters, and enormous engine room.
Unbelievable. Upcoming pics and video over the course of the next few days.
To get an idea of how big this boat is, check out my large truck in the bottom right of this picture. It is dwarfed by The Western Venture.

Steaming Lobsters and Butter on The Stove
The proper way to cook lobster. Steam them, do not boil them in fresh water.

Ever wonder what it looks like below deck on some of our fishing fleet? Here is the galley area below deck on Dave Jackson’s F/V Mistress. Dave goes part time lobstering and part time hook fishing for cod and haddock.
It’s pretty clean and comfortable down there. Note the coffee pot on the stove and bread box an the wall. Also note how sparkling clean the overhead is. This is one of the cleaner below deck spaces that you will find on a working commercial fishing boat.
