Where Are People From?

Jerry, im constantly having to go to the interior designers shop next to yankee boat yard for work... What is the gorgeous grey hulled boat across the river with the tower? Looks like a peter kass no?

 

[Diesel Jerry]

Yes, Sand Dollars III is a Peter Kass. I am not a wooden boat fan myself, but those boats do look good. A good blend of new and old style design.

Old Mud, you live in Bath? I just read about the viaduct getting a replacement, thats going to make for a fun winter.

 

[SameDirection38]

Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Had the opportunity to watch Diesel Jerry, his brother, and a few other guys grow up in this town. I went from wooden boats and traps, and fishing with a flasher to get my depths and bottom, to fiberglass boat wire traps and a "MFD" as it is called. The lobstering business is what changed these boats the most. Taking away the tumblehome to get more deck space. Boats have gotten wider, and bigger.

Now I head down to the dock in the morning, talk to Fred (Jerry's Dad), and a few other guys that still go lobstering. Crazy to think Jerry used to swear up and down he was going to be a lobsterman. He fish 100 traps out of a 12 foot skiff. Know he has two kids, and lives out of town.

Two things are for sure... I have had too much to drink... and completely forgot my point.

Ha ha, a pain only if you live to the Eastard and not near as bad as doing it in the "Tourist season". Everyone WILL visit downtown Bath, want to or not.

No point required old boy. Lots of traps broke over the rail of that skiff between dad when he had it and me My first season of being a sternman, was in that skiff. Dad named it Tidaly Idley, I changed it to Red at Night. I should have preserved it. Dad still had wooden traps for a few years when I started going sternman. Damn those thing sucked! Good times. Life was simple.
