what a day!!

well, went out today on the dog & i but the fog was so thick had to come back in..the radar is not working and for safetys sake it was a good call. After returning to the dock i did go out on the trapper john as a extra deckhand..steamed so close to ten pound island you could throw a rock and hit it... but, you could not see it!! was wicked hard to find the bouys..but all in all i had a great day at sea...the weather held out nice.. much better than expected.. makes ya wonder if these weather men just pull a forcast out of a hat or what??? the way i see it is a bad day at sea is better than a good day on shore anytime!!

MAD COW

I HAD THE DAY OFF FROM THE "DOG & I" AND I DECIDED TO HOP ON ANOTHER BOAT FOR THE DAY. WAS MY FIRST EXPERIANCE FISHING WITH COW HIDES..OMG!!! WONT FORGET THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THERE WAS ALSO 2 COW LEGS... WITH THE HOOF THAT WENT INTO THE TRAP.. WELL A COUPLE DAYS AGO I HAD ANOTHER DAY OFF MY REGULAR BOAT AND DECIDED TO FILL IN MY DAY OFF AND WORK ON MY FRIENDS BOAT. HALFWAY THROUGH THE GEAR LOW AND BEHOLD WE BRING UP A HOOF!! LOOKED LIKE JELLO..LOOKED LIKE A HOOF.. JUST A JELLO HOOF..WICKED GROSS BUT HEY, THE LOBSTERS SURE SEEMED TO LIKE IT. TWO DAYS AGO MY FRIEND BROUGHT HIS LOBSTERS TO CAPTAIN JOES TO UNLOAD... I WAS STANDING THERE WATCHING FRANKIE SORTED MY FRIENDS LOBSTERS WHEN HE CAME UPON A VERY LARGE DISEASED LOBSTER ..HE SAID WHAT A SHAME.. SUCH A NICE LOBSTER..I THEN TOLD HIM WHAT IT REALLY WAS....MAD COW DISEASE.. FRANKIE THOUGHT IT WAS AMUSING BUT EVERY TIME I SEE A FUNKY LOBSTER COMING OUT OF THE TRAP THATS THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT COMES TO MY MIND. BONA PETITE !!
