I just want to take a moment to make a quick post, and let everyone know that I am still alive. I haven't been swallowed by the sea, (or the lobster business, although I wasn't too sure a few times), or been eaten by the lobsters or frozen to death, yet! The winter fishing is really slow which allows me time to blow the dust off this blog and try to update it. Last year was a wash, with the

I would just like to thank you for your friendship. I cannot tell you enough what your support means to me or how much I appreciate it. The best way for me to let you now is by reciprocating the consideration and caring you've blessed me with.Merci mon ami!

No, it's not a whale. Sorry. But, it is a whale of an idea. As a lobsterfisherman I am very "in tune" to the weather, as any of you that have been following my blog may know. I need to be, since my livelihood and my crew's safety depend greatly on weather conditions. I think I've been seeing a change in the amount of wind we get and how often we get it. This could just be that I am not the

Yes. You are really seeing a post about breast cancer on my blog! So far on my site, if you have been frequenting it, you've found incites to my occupation, a few recipes and some humor. So why a serious topic like this now. Well my sister has been dealing with breast cancer for some time now. I am not here to tell her story, that would be for her to do. I guess you could say I have always

It will certainly be good to see this again. Unfortunately, that's months away. Catches like the one shown here only happen a few times in the peak of the season, usually fall. This time of year, I can end up hauling traps for hours and only catch a few dozen lobsters. (There's been a couple of days this winter, that I've fished until dark, an not caught enough to pay for my bait and fuel!)

Try this!1. While sitting with your feet on the floor, begin moving your right foot in a clockwise motion...2.While continuing clockwise motion with foot, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand...3.WHAT THE??? What happened to the clockwise motion with right foot!Maybe you can do it. I finally gave up.My foot just seemed to have a mind of it's own or maybe it's connected to my

Where I get my weather updates. O.K. Let me tell you a bit about my weather dependency and how I keep an eye on conditions. As you may have figured out by reading my profile, I am a year-round commercial lobsterfisherman. Weather has a lot more effect on what I do than just comfort. Where I fish from there is very little sheltered waters. A couple of miles from my harbor and I'm in open

Oh Boy! Where do I start? Global warming...ummm, let's see....well...for starters, its 9 degrees this morning. NINE! Does anything about that number imply warmth? I didn't think so either. O.K. That's a start. (an 'icebreaker', if you will) Alright,as if 9 degs. wasn't bad enough, I just looked at the wind chill off shore. It's a few degrees below zero! And I told my sternman we would haul today.

Finally, back to my posts! Well, I thought the end of the online world was near. You see, I have been having some trouble with my laptop. It's a 17" HP pavillion with a few years on it. I was expecting a scene from Will Smith's movie, i Robot. I'd be working away on it and all of a sudden, with NO warning what so ever, it would turn off. And I mean off, not logging out or shutting down or

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

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.
