Yo.. Wayne.. enveloped in a fog bank? Try being enveloped for two
months,
the whole summer, by fog, rain, crap.. Nothing is lifting up here,, and
the
classic
wooden boats? They are in the harbor, waiting for that mist which has
been
here
since June 2 to clear.
You are making me glad that we decided to stay south this summer and
go to the Bahamas. No fog in the Exuma Islands but they have their
own charm.
For what it's worth, I have usually found August to be better weather
in Maine.
I lost a lot of respect for lobstermen 3 years ago up in Bar Harbor.
We were there four weeks, and they've got quite the group of hard
drinking, loud mouth bozos running around.

Let's face it Wayne,, it does not take a degree from Harvard to pull a trap
up onto a boat,
reach in and pull out a bottom eating lobster.
But .. looks like fuel prices, and weather, are about to send the lobster
men back to the
construction sites.
The price of lobster is going down each day. No tourists are going out to
eat, they can't afford to
since they spent all the money on fuel just getting to Maine.
Soon, the few remaining lobster fishermen will be the hard core, the
offshore guys.
Besides, why do folks want to eat a bottom feeding scavenger to begin with
...
I have never understood why anyone would want to pay all kinds of money to
crack open the
shell of a lobster, and then pay for the shell as part of the dish. Why?
Would you order a chicken
with feathers so you can pluck the bird before eating it? It is nuts.
If they are bad in Bar Harbor, you should have been in Potts Harbor for the
lobster boat races.
Talk about a gathering of mentally challenged alcoholics. They had tattoos'
that were spelled
incorrectly. Names of old girlfriends crossed out.. they were out in the
middle of the bay at 9am,
drinking up a strorm with their women. And the women looked more like men.
Quite a site.
Drive inland sometime when visiting Maine. One DNA,, no teeth,,
