Wednesday and Thursday (More Short Days!)

Wednesday was going to be a short day again, so I made a sandwich, but I knew that I was going to eat it at home. I made it and put it in my lunchbox just because I did not want to make it when I got home and wanted to eat it. I packed 2 packages of Austin Cheese Crackers because I love them. We got a 27 pack from Walmart, so I take 2 packages on the boat each day now.



It was really windy and wavy on Wednesday, and the boat was rocking a lot. We got done around 10:30 AM which was really early, the earliest since getting here this month. We ended up with 350 Lbs. which was great for the time that we spent. When I got home, I had my sandwich, but I added Hot Cheetos to it, and it tasted delicious!





For dinner Wednesday night, I went out to eat with Uncle Art and his sister at a restaurant called




Thursday was going to be a short day again. We have had so many short days because Uncle Art does not have as many traps out as he did last year, plus when we do not get a lot of lobsters, we can run through the traps quicker. I only took 2 cheese crackers and no sandwich. It was very wavy and rainy Thursday. It was raining most of the morning, which was annoying, and I wore a rain jacket most of the day. It stopped raining about 2 or 3 hours after we were out on the water. I still wore my rain jacket because it was keeping me warmer than just in a sweatshirt. We got done around 11:00 AM and ended up with 390 Lbs. of Lobster. We used up all of our Herring and most of our Red Fish. We did not bait up after we were dine hauling on Thursday because I had Friday off. We were going to go again Saturday, but then I had Sunday off again.

For dinner Thursday night, we had Tamales. They were very good, and we had sweet corn on the side!
