I Know Everything There is to Know about Shrimpin'



Here I am, the Shrimp Boat Captain that I have always dreamed of being. I am checking the waters for shrimp. Unfortunately, they are not found on the surface. Bubba never mentioned that. We needed to be on board the shrimp boat by 4 am. We didn't get a chance to take a shower but the shrimp didn't seem to mind. We enjoyed the quiet time on the water before we hauled in our first catch.

The eagles were diving for herring and the water was as smooth as glass. We didn't see any whales, apparently they don't like herring. Who knew? We have several more hours before we haul in the nets. I need to go below and study the charts or whatever a shrimp boat captain does.
