Great Hauling Day! (hard working day)

Today, i got done working on the lobster boat, at about 2:30 P.M. which is pretty late compared to other days. I was really tired after today. It was just like any other day, only single traps, with the herring bait bags, and the rockfish. We hauled a lot of traps today. At the end of the day, we got an astonishing 840 LBS. just like my first day! At he beginning of the day, we got 12 more boxes of rockfish for the traps. The rockfish come in brick packages of cardboard boxes, about 6 in by 16 in. The rockfish are frozen into those rectangular shapes, so we have to put them in water so that they can thaw.

We put them in water so that they can thaw, and we can peel them apart.

I took a picture of the 8 smaller legs on a lobster so that you can know what the lobsters legs look like.

We had about 3 times for a snack break today. We usually eat cheese crackers. I got a picture of Uncle Art driving the boat! One time, when we pulled up a trap, we found a really small lobster. It was smaller than my hand, and i got a picture of it, next to my hand!

After the long day on the boat, we got domino's pizza. We got a pizza, and these cheesy bread balls that i don't know what they are called. After that, we went home and i could finally relax! I got a picture of what lobsters are cooked in. It is this big giant pot made for cooking lobsters. 



My Aunt Pennie, has a chicken coup, and we get eggs from it every day. We usually get about 6 eggs a day, and they are really good to eat because they are so fresh. There is always this one chicken, who always fly's out of the coup, and we always see him walking around when we get back home. The chickens are good though, because they never run away. I also got a picture of where Uncle Art works on his traps that need to be repaired in any kind of way.
