Sometimes, as you see, lobster boats can be like humans in these difficult times – they don’t know which way to turn.
But sometimes they don’t worry about how the wind is blowing and “current” affairs and rest calmy:
We’re well into the coastal lobster fishing season and a very experienced lobsterman described the season so far this way: “It's been fairly steady for the most part. As always, the price could be a little better. I think we are down somewhere in the neighborhood of a dollar a pound from last year. That kind of hurts when the cost of doing business is sky high.”
The rich may be getting richer, but they’re not doing do by hauling traps.
