Yesterday, July 23rd, I flew into Maine from Grand Rapids. I had to wait about 40 minutes on the last plane when I got to Maine because there were no gates available but eventually I got off and got my luggage and drove home with Uncle Art. On the way to the house we stopped at McDonalds to get some food because we were hungry.

Today was my first day out hauling, and the weather was very nice. It was sunny the entire day and we ended up with 500 pounds which we were surprised about. It was a good start. Here are some pictures from the morning:
I saw the dogs when we got back to the wharf:

Today was Thursday and we were suppose to have a shorter day today. We took out about 35 traps in the morning and then went out into the water about 30 minutes where we set each trap with another trap. These traps are the double traps where there are two traps for one buoy. It took us a while to set these traps, then we had to go back to the wharf to get some more bait for the singles we had to haul. By that time it was about 11 AM, and we got done around 2 PM after hauling about 60 single traps. We got probably around 200 pounds today, not the best but we were setting traps most of the time so its not bad.
Once I got back home I drove with Aunt Pennie to the library and then to Walmart to buy some stuff. I got a lot of cheese, some cheetos, crackers and some ice tea.
Back in the saddle again!
