I am very interested in oceanography or marine biology. I am in charge of a five to six man crew. I have never been scuba diving but have enjoyed snorkeling while on vacation. The story about Jethro made me laugh out loud. When I live in Topsham, Maine we used to be able to go out to the islands and pick our own lobster.
Recreational licenses are available to allow people to catch their own lobsters.
I often go sports fishing. I have many hobbies other than fishing. I am learning how to play bridge. While captaining the Hannah Boden I took government observers on swordfishing trips on two separate occasions. I enjoyed having them aboard and agree that the observer program is a worthwhile one.
