Sean Takes The “Naked In The Tank Full Of Lobsters” Bet

This is from last fall when Tuffy’s Back Man Sean took the bet that he wouldn’t hop into a tank full of lobsters naked.

Those crazy kids!

Rudder and Prop on The Holy Mackerel

If you notice on the rudder there is a silver zinc and also on the bottom of the keel.

The reason that boat owners replace the zincs when they haul out is because electrolysis eats away at metal under the water line on a boat but it eats away at the zincs first so the rest of the metal goes untouched by the electrolysis. If the boat owner keeps up on replacing the zincs when they get eaten away the other metal below the boat will stay in better shape over time.

Toby aboard the stern of his lobster boat the Jupiter II. Toby just re-fiberglassed the setting table and set some cut out playmates in under the clearcoat.

I guess Toby is never going to be lonely out at sea hauling his gear.

Shawn Cromwell, skipper of the Pamela and Patricia heads out to set his funky new purple traps.

It’s a first for me (I’ve never seen purple traps)

He ought to put little disco balls inside so the lobsters can have an eighties party once they trap up.

Harrison Golden bought this beautiful lobsterboat.   The boat’s name intrigued me so I googled it and came up with this wikipedia page on Moe Szyslak
 You gotta wonder about a guy that names his boat after a bartender on The Simpsons, LOL.
