Summer is the easy part of the year, it’s when fall and winter hit that the conditions change. The weather isn’t as nice and the sea gets wild. That’s when things get interesting.

But how did they mention Rockport and miss the 102 year old woman who still lobsters there and has most of her life?

My own experience starting in the 70s to the present with woman fishermen is the overwhelming majority of fishermen and the community they fish out of are very supportive and proud of these woman because they are an example for all but particularly young girls who an become anything they put the effort into becoming. Linda Greenlaw is certainly the most famous female fishermen and has never seen herself as a fisherwoman, as she has said, the DON’T call female firemen firewoman. I’m proud of all hard working people and have a special place for hard working fishermen.
