different lobster boats. Sabotaged traps and cut buoy lines causing tens
or hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses makes for interesting TV.
Plus, they also have cool accents.



Yeah, my dad slips back into his accent once in a while. He grew up on
West Gloucester Island, most of our family is there or in Lynn/Revere
beach area. They say my name real funny, I can't even mimic it. I
remember him singing the old sailor songs, can't do that skeetin'
scattin' whateverin' either, but is sure was cool to hear it.

I'm sure it will make you ill to learn that many of my family members
lived in the Lynn-Revere-Salem area,
and that on D-Day, though I was only an infant, I was at Revere Beach
with my parents.

My paternal grandfather was a shopkeeper at a store at Revere Beach and
lived a few blocks away. This was in the days of the Revere Beach
amusement park. An aunt of my mother's lived not far from Revere Beach
and had a small farm where they raised veggies and acres of
blackberries. Actually, I had relatives living all over the Boston area.

Naw, I don't have any problem with you really. I'd go fishing with you
anytime, actually think we would probably get on ok as long as we
stayed away from politics. Besides, I hate to blow your cover but a
mutual friend has assured me that you are actually a pretty decent
guy

You probably knew my uncle and my cousins who would have been about
your age. My uncle owned a huge boarding house on top of the hill, was
an electrician, a local politician, also involved in national
elections on the Socialist ticket. I remember the beach as a child,
don't know if the amusement park was still there then.

He'll offer to take you soon. If you can stand to spend a day within 21
feet of him, you'll probably have a good time drift fishing with 12 lines
in the water. Be careful not to get carried away and step off the end of
the deck through the cutaway transom!

My boat has a cutaway transom? What's the problem with that? I mean,
if you can't handle it, don't buy it

Are you asking me if your boat has a cutaway transom? Hell, I don't know!
If so, there's no problem whatsoever, unless you get carried away and take
a step through it!

Good grief John. You were actually one of the few...if not the only
one...invited out on Harry's boat for a day of fishing.
This is how you repay him.... jabs at every opportunity?
That would be considered bad manners up here.
