another day at the ocean.

Since I have even thought of moving to Maine, my thoughts were lobster and moose.  And I thought it would be much less effort to see a moose than it actually ended up being (but well worth it).  So back to the lobster, I thought I would just try it at a restaurant.  Rewind to my first day here and meeting the man that is now my boyfriend (A.K.A. the non-commercial Lobsterman).  Well how perfect, my first lobster to be eaten will be caught by him.  I have been really excited about this.  And then I took this picture

My previous association had been something cooked on my plate.  Not something that I have actually pet (and maybe blown kisses to).  The feeling of actually seeing them was weird.  The lobster meal is not scheduled for another 2 weeks.  But this container they are in is called the "tote."  It has a lid on it and actually floats next to the dock where Hotdog is kept.  The things that look like centipedes in the tote are actually the bait fish.  Gross.

This is the view of Joe in Hotdog.  Behind me is where the water opens up to the ocean.

This is the view behind me from where I took the above picture.  This day I know looks horrible and really foggy, but still lots of fun.

The glob in here that looks like something from outer space is actually a jellyfish, he got pulled up in the trap.  It was pretty cool to see, this guy got free and is now back in the ocean.

* The sun burned the fog and it turned out to be a beautiful day, I of course did not remember to take pictures.
