Offloading Barnacle Encrusted Lobster Gear For Cleaning

I took these shots with my new cameraphone The HTC EVO.  It tends to over saturate pictures and isn’t nearly as good a camera as my Sony DSC H20 but the beauty of it is that I can take a picture and post it to the blog in mere seconds.  That is how I got you guys the Greasy Pole and Seine Boat results within 30 seconds of each finish beating every other media outlet by many hours and days.

I was sitting on the forktruck (the black bar in the middle is the mast of the forktruck) when I took these shots

The boat had a little over a foot of snow aboard after the snow storm.  There’s a whole set of precautions that commercial fishermen have to  take to keep their boats going through the extreme cold temperatures.  Frozen coolant lines, frozen lobster hoses, snow engines freezing up.

It’s always best to have a block heater which keeps the engine warm and the fuel from gelling up.  We plug our truck in and it starts up (usually) pretty easily but without that block heater forgettabout it!

Let Er Go Seine Boat

They put a cage around the propellor so the herring net (seine) doesn’t get stuck in the prop and mess up the works.
