Back To The Working Waterfront !

Visitors to this port see the fishing boats coming and going but many don't see the work done during offloading. Even lifelong residents have not had the chance to see their harbor's goings on.
After almost a week of rough seas, work along the waterfront has picked up.

A couple of "Fair Winds"!

Coast Guard on patrol.

Lobster boat "Dog & I" heads in to unload.

Fishing dragger "Padre Pio" comes in with her catch.

Fish are dumped onto the sorting table.

Cod!

    Looking at those photos causes me to appreciate all the more what goes into bringing that fish I love to eat a few times every week, to my table!
    Thanks for the inside scoop! :)

    I didn't include the dampness and smells. Actually you would think the place smells fishy....it does not. Why....Fresh fish has no oder!
