Three generations!

Wow, the ice is disappearing fast!  An excellent series, documenting this fishing industry... Mike

The three boats here all have the same objective and permit.The one in

the middle is the earlier generation and has a wooden hull;the one on

the right has a wooden hull covered in fiberglass and the new one on

the left is all fiberglass.While the latest1larger one will carry its

300-traps permit allocation in one trip,the smaller ones will have to

return to base for a second trip to the fishing area.Thank you for

your comment-Laurent

Laurent, it is very interesting to follow your documentation of the lobster season. We also appreciate your commentaries. We are getting to know and love  your region through your series throughout the seasons.

Thank you.The right tide/wind conditions cleaned out the harbour ice and the Go-Ahead was finally given for the season opener this morning.Tomorrow....fresh lobster!

Yes ....finally!But it is not that warm yet and we still have some snow especially in the wooded areas.This morning,5h AM,it was -1C when I walked up the bridge to snap photos of the boats leaving to drop the lobster traps.

Thank you...and glad you keep looking in.Quite a relief here for everybody that the ice has finally gone;the fishermen can get on with their business and the folks here will have the traditional lobster for Mother's Day.

Meilleures salutations-Laurent
