Fearless Comes Home

Our last trip of the season out to Fearless.

These 3 crusty crustaceans were today's catch.

Time to take in the traps.

A passing lobsterboat as we head back to the dock.

Enjoying the last bit of autumn color on this beautiful Maine day.

Tied up back at the dock, we relax while waiting for the transport truck to come.

Transport truck arrives and Henri heads to the shore.

Backing into the driveway.

Back home, Fearless gets a quick bath.

Barely 4 months in the saltwater and this is what you'll get.

By nightfall she's looking a whole lot better.

Welcome home Fearless, it's good to have you back in the dooryard again.

Nature's Bounty

Harvest from my garden this weekend.

Along with a small harvest from the sea and my backyard blackberry bushes.

Thanks to nature's bounty, my grocery store cart will be a little lighter this week.

3 Buckets Full

A scene from this morning's trip out on the water.

You might want to hold your nose for this one . . .

It was time to replenish our bait.

Because we only have 10 traps between us, we fill bait bags, and freeze them in zip lock freezer bags until we need to rebait our traps. Less stinky this way.

Herring . . . it's the breakfast of lobsters.

Another pretty scene from this morning to get those images out of your mind.

Sorry about that.
