Today, I was going to have a short day out hauling for Lobsters. I woke up at 4:27 AM without Uncle Art waking me up. He usually comes into my room right at 4:30 AM to tell me to wake up but he did not. I looked out the window and he drove away in his truck, so I went back to bed, and he woke me up later around 5:40 AM, so I got to sleep in! I made my sandwich and packed my lunch then we headed off with about 15 traps on the back of the truck that we were going to set today. Uncle Art brought the boat in, and we got new Herring, and we got the traps onto the boat.
We set the 15 traps first, so I baited them all up with Herring and 3 Rock Fish on top of them. Then we started to haul traps. Uncle Art said we were not going to get a lot of lobsters today since we were hauling in the Channel which is about a 25 minute boat drive from the land into the sea. Today was the sunniest day that we have had, and I put on so much sunscreen, because I was already sunburned and I did not want them to worsen.
We ended up getting done around 11:10 AM which is surprising because we started late today also. It was a very short day. We only got about 200 Lbs in the end but that was okay because I had extra free time!
For dinner, we had steak with buttered baked potatoes and cheesy garlic bread. It was a very delicious meal. The steak was very good, and the buttered baked potatoes were amazing.
Also, Aunt Pennie bought a cool old record player from a man on buttermilk lane. It was very old-fashioned, it was one that you crank up then it spins. It was really cool, here's a picture of it.
Saturday and Sunday, I have the day off which is awesome!
