I think your suggestion of The Chase might be appropriate in this case even if 007 is nowhere to be spotted.You see,this shot is taken somewhere around 14h00 and these are rushing back to the wharf with their catch of the day:first arrived will be the first offloaded and the fishermen will be able to get back home they left at around 4h00 in the morning to rewind for the next day on this 7 days/week regime for the two months of the lobster season....so every hour counts! 007 never had it this hard!Thank you so much for the appreciation and for taking the time to read this.

Lobster fishermen... One of the hardest jobs on the world...

 

 

 

Right Laurent: "007 never had it this hard!".

 

Ian Fleming made him being inspired by a bulgarian spy.

In a BBC interview, sometime in the 60-ties, he - the model - said that Bond would have never had the chance to show in the next novel. 

Asked about being afraid, he said that this never happened but twice: when the WWII started and when he joined the special forces... :)

 

 

Merci a toi Laurent !

Thank you for viewing and for the appreciation.I am glad that my images/info sheds some light on these men and women that brave the sea to bring us this so choice delicacy.But this is the happy part;saddly,this industry is in crisis as the overstocks are so large that the fishermen have to cope with prices that barely cover their costs.Now the situation has stepped up(down) to a point that the brokers are only buying part of the catch imposing a restriction on the activity to a point that the short 2-months season could be shortened in a forecasted disaster scenario.I am not a fisherman but I do feel for this bunch here that know me as that guy with the camera.

Meilleures salutations-Laurent
