Back From Sailing Vacation in Maine

[tRidiot]

You cannot just go lobstering commercially without license, laws are crazy when it comes to that.

We used to spearfish lobster in Sint Maarten. Nothing like going out in my own little tender with my own snorkel or SCUBA gear and coming back a couple hours later with a bag of lobsters. They weren't great or YUUUUGE, but when you've got a dozen, you can have 2 or 3 lobster tails each.

Well, lookee there...

...I didn't know that lobster came right out of the ocean with those little bands on their "claws."

(I'm suspecting BS here.)

Ha! I was talking about fishin' around in that crate...

You know that wheel is a fake one just for the guests, right? (kidding, ha).

What an awesome vacation! I've never thought of doing that.
How about rough seas? Seasick much?

That wheel's the real deal! We helped sail the boat; everything from pulling sails to bringing up the anchor and yes, steering the boat too. And you're right; it was an awesome vacation. Never got in the least bit seasick, we stayed in the waters of Penobscot Bay so we never had heavy seas to deal with anyway.

Had to look that up since you spent a week there. That's a pretty large bay. You should have taken me along to take pictures.
