Penobscot Bay off Vinalhaven, The Reach in the fog.
Hauling in The Reach
... to Rockland
Lobster boats are a lot faster than i thought. Hauling ass accross West Penobscot Bay from North Haven to Rockland.
Last of the Maine posts — I think. Links to snaps are in the several older posts below.
The Equinox — Hauling Ass
Risky business
In the first snap Peter Ralston is talking to a Vinalhaven lobster fisherman about his near tragic accident the day before. The man fishes alone without a sternman and the day before he was pulled over the side by a trap he was setting. The boat was in gear and motored off. He swam 45 minutes to a ledge where he was finally recused hours later. His boat, the Good 'Nuff, ran around on another ledge and is in the yard for repairs. Apparently one of the lucky, generally overboads perish and are rarely found.
Will post all of the Maine shots to SmugMug in the next day or so. This post will have the link when they are up. In the mean time there are two galleries here on the blog here and here.
