March 26th, 2011 · No Comments

EXPEDITION IMPOSSIBLE – PREMIERES TUESDAY, JUNE 21 (9:00-10:00 p.m.) – Adventurer, zoologist, big cat trainer and all-around risk taker Dave Salmoni hosts ABC’s epic summer series, “Expedition Impossible,” which features ordinary people doing the extraordinary in the biggest adventure of their lives. The show will feature 13 teams of 3, racing on an expedition across vast deserts, over snow capped mountains and through raging rivers. Each week a new stage of the expedition will be revealed to the teams.

Will they crumble under the pressure of having to think clearly in the wilds of the great outdoors, or will they find a way to work together to complete their adventures? After 10 stunning legs of competition, one team will cross the finish line first to claim victory. Mark Burnett and Lisa Hennessy serve as executive producers. Both the television show and format will be distributed internationally by Mark Burnett International Distribution.

Fall Inspirations – Toilers of the Sea

By R.A. Schenck | Published: August 26, 2010

Nautical themes will have a strong influence… look for SNS Herning and Inis Meain knits this season. From the Norfolk Museums and Archeology Service on the older traditional sweaters worn by fishermen:

Tuffy and Nate Prepare To Offload a Pile Of Lobster Gear

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here the boys are getting ready to offload a pile of lobster traps.  The cold water temperature haas made the lobstering activity slow down to a crawl and the time will be better spent fixing broken gear and making repairs than going out to catch very few lobsters this time  of year.  When the last load of traps comes in it is a big relief for lobstermen.  It’s the end of another season and hopefully they’ve made enough to carry them through the winter.

Ballyhoo Caught By Port of Castries Fishermen

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Ballyhoo are a favorite game fish bait.  Sport fishermen will bury the hook in it’s belly and then wrap the line up around it’s long snout.  They look very similar to herring in the way they look except they are skinnier and have that long spear coming out it’s nose.

Castries Fishermen’s Pier

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

There was a rather large woman cooking something in a pot off to the right in the picture.  A fire had been set using whatever scraps of wood that were around and the pot set right atop that fire.  Under the fishing boats which were hailed up out omn the dock there were many small dogs playing with each other and some roosters roaming around.  Obviously getting the dogs neutered was not high on the priority list. 

Just across the bay were two cruise ships.  Such a striking contrast between the big hulking and modern cruise ships and the very basic fishing boats.

Stevie Aboard The Lady Jane Mends The Net

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Stevie is a guy that’s worked his whole life as a fisherman.  One of the old timers. I wonder when the Sectors get put into place if there will be a place for career crew members aboard fishing boats like Stevie or if it will be a series of hired hands just punching in for a pay check.   Not really caring about really learning the trade, waiting for their paycheck from some large corporation which bought up the permits.
It doesn’t look good for the independent fisherman.

Ending the leased day at sea program and cutting our boats down to 18 days fishing per year does not sound very promising.
