  3. In Downeast Maine they tell the tale of the mother in-law from Mass that insisted on going out in the lobster boat. It got pretty choppy and she got sick, hanging over the edge. A big wave lurched her into the water where she immediately disappeared.
    The crew checked around and couldn't find hide nor hair of her........so they kept pulling traps.
    Couple weeks later a boat from down the coast called up and told the son in-law that they had found her washed up on the beach with almost a dozen lobsters feeding on her.
    Upon being asked what should be done, he thought for a minute, punched a couple of buttons on his smart phone, and told them that with the price of lobster being round $10 a pound, they should probably set her again. Ha!

  4. Love me some nice fresh mussels, on the grill basted with butter or wrapped in bacon. Was a clammer for a few years off Marthas Vineyard, (long before the psychopaths took it over), oristene waters back then, ate fresh within a couple hours they have the best kind of taste, close to good lobster, after that they lose that unique flavor.

  6. Is that some sort of kayak? Looks too thick for a surfboard.

  7. It's a paddleboard for life saving.

    Picture this; the mass of growth becomes so massive that the weight overcomes the buoyancy. The think sinks to a depth where it attains neutral buoyancy. A depth where there is not enough sunlight to sustain the growth. The mass dies off and buoyancy wins to repeat the cycle.

    That cycle continues until washed ashore, plucked out of the sea, or just disintegrates. That explains how water gets inside net floats which are otherwise undamaged..
