NS whitetail Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 As most of you know, I am a commercial lobster fisherman. Most people have no idea what it is like to do this type of job. Yesterday was brutal, the temp was around - 12 C , winds around 25 knots from the northeast which made it feel like - 30 C. When you are a boat on the Atlantic Ocean, there is no where to run nor hide, you have to take it all in stride. Numb feet, numb hands and a face that feels like it is going to drop off lol .................... why do I do this ? ................ I love it and the $$$$$ is great and makes you forget about the torture lol. I must say, I got Underarmour base layer clothing for Christmas and it is awesome. Here is a couple of pics looking out the wheelhouse windows, this is salt water freezing, as soon as it hits, it freeezes. I also have been out on a lot worse days than this and alot more ice ................. there is a saying around here ~~~ "Southwest Nova lobster fisherman ~~~~ Tough as they come " ................... sometimes I wonder, should it be " Crazy as they come " lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im your huckleberry Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 The Atlantic can get very cold, thats why there were no survivors from the Ocean Ranger. By the way nice pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Great pics Lewis. Yeah that would be chilly for sure! Hopefully you spent most of the time in the wheelhouse out of the spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
