( Or you could just dig you toes in the sand at the right spots and get them yourself) I myself have never been on one. I have been on a few boats in my days though. These days I would prefer the cruise ones though.<br /><br />Don't need to stomp today, the sun is shining but it is blistery cold. I have some housework that really needs to get done today.

OK, maybe not so fond of the gill nets. Seriously, I think my mental state could use a few days of working on the water, gill nets included. <br /><br />WV: tahedi- I wish I was on a plane to Tahedi.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541283009059071005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-88302811144797511382011-02-09T07:47:59.184-05:002011-02-09T07:47:59.184-05:00I'm an inland hill kind of girl... but I spent...I'm an inland hill kind of girl... but I spent five years at university by the sea. I know buggerall about boats and ships... but I remain fascinated by them. And by the idea of escaping on one, fishing, cargo, but absolutely not, nevernoway, a cruise ship. I worked for a deeply memorable six months on one. Like a floating prison... with no chance of escape.<br /><br />viesslow: like very slow.

What your area is experiencing with watermen, the area where I grew up is experiencing with farmers. I remember my great aunt, who lived on a farm for her entire life, lamenting that all of her 5 children moved away and didn't want to farm, and their kids won't want to either. And now that she's gone, her farm is for sale and part of it might be sold to build new homes. Not all of it, but part of it. It seems a shame to me.Meg McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226110990838922422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-46141706569673312662011-02-09T07:44:13.550-05:002011-02-09T07:44:13.550-05:00I am stomping my feet, and I am also Vitamin D def...I am stomping my feet, and I am also Vitamin D deficient..<br /><br />Love work boats, spent most of my high school years (and a bit beyond) in Guinea. I also loved helping to make crab pots and eel pots. Eel pots were my favorite. I also love the smell of marsh mud baking in the sun.

I once almost convinced my bank manager to give me a loan to buy a tug, but when he found out I wanted it for a live-aboard and didn't plan to work it, he said he couldn't lend me the money. I weighed maybe 110 pounds and did not look like Tugboat Annie. (Your parents might remember her.)<br />-- KKay L. Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966266404058177742noreply@blogger.com
