Dry run!

As soon as dropped in the water,this as the other boats get out for a

test run to check out the engine,hydraulic systems,cooling and

drainage pumps etc before the deck is buried under the first load of

traps.Here,the ice just freshly broken by the Hovercraft is still

floating around in the wharf enclosure so the boats have to manoeuvre

carefully in order to avoid contact and keep the prop from being

damaged.Thank you for your comment-Laurent

you and caramelle live in the most gorgeous place, Laurent! And your pictures are all so, well, picturesque! beautiful composition: water, boat, sky! ;-} dp

Thank you.The favorable tide/wind conditions finally took this ice away and the lobster season opened this morning with some ten days delay...Now the good news:fresh lobster tomorrow!

Meilleures salutations-Laurent
