No lobsters today, no paycheck next week. That's just how winter fishing goes. It's been a week today since I've been on the water. The weather this time of year makes it very difficult to get out and haul my traps. Yes it's cold and yes it snows, but the part that keeps my boat on the mooring is the wind and the seas, and we have had a lot of both this month! Just to give you a look at what it looks like, check out the picture,"Blustery". That was from last winter, but that's just about what it's looked like lately. If you are a fan of Maine lobster (and who isn't?), I hope you appreciate what I'm up against to get them for you! Believe me, I wish it was easier. Oh well, spring will get here eventually and we will all be a little happier.
This is my first post on my first blog so don't get too excited. If you're reading this then I've done something right so far. I have a lot to learn about this so be patient and check back often because when I get the hang of this, East of Acadia will be the best darn web page you've seen. O.K.! I know, that was a bit much. Seriously though, as this site grows, I welcome your feedback.

A BAD DAY HUNTING
One day, Jacque and Pierre went moose hunting in the north Maine woods. After a large breakfast and several hours of hunting, Pierre developed a problem. Miles from camp and the trusty outhouse, he told Jacque his dilemma.
Jacque calmly told Pierre, "Just go over there behind those bushes, and do your 'business".
"But Jacque, I have no paper to wipe with!", said Pierre.
Jacque told him, "no problem Pierre, just take a dollar from your pocket and use that."
After some time, Pierre returns, and Jacque exclaims, "Pierre, your hands are covered in sh@# , what happened man?!!!"
"Oh Jaque, I had only four quarters!"
