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.

Are you home? Warm? Sipping a cup of nice hot coffee? These guys ain’t.
