Description
The lobster boat "High Maintenance" heading into Eastport, Maine after a long morning of working the ocean waters along the bold coast of down east Maine.
The sternman seen behind the captain utilizes the return trip to clean up the boat, stow away gear, washing down deck and work area,...and overall tidying up assuring the boats readiness for a very early next day departure.
The captain and crew of these fishing boats often leave their moorings in early morning darkness to work long hours hauling in strings of lobster traps from the ocean floor, harvest the catch, rebait the traps then reset them into the cold ocean waters. Hard work and long hours for sure, a lifestyle on the ocean, chancing the outdoor elements, tides, currents, fog and all that nature can throw at them,....but know that few,...if any would ever trade this independent lifestyle for anything else,..this life is in their blood.
