Unexpected hauling
No official reading, but the temperature may have gone over the 20C point this afternoon. A psychological mark for summer watchers. It goes without saying that this also brings tourists into the sector. Natural tourists. Whales, if you are watching.
Wonderful, said no lobster fisher, ever. Right now, all those to the west of a line in the sand, the National Park, are hauling their gear. Remember, the lobster fishery is tightly regulated, with a very short season to harvest. And when your gear is out of the water, you will not make any money.
But what matters here is that a watcher saw a fin, and now a lot of people are waiting for the permission to get back to work.
You might say that we already have plenty of shellfish, in freezers. I am glad that your next pay cheque is not so easily stopped.
Our initial tests of Starlink were done over the last day, and I am impressed. The download speeds are real. Not just possible. Next up will be getting the dish into a permanent position, up high, and I will need to make a few network updates. But Bell, we will soon bid you adieu. Pity said no-one else.
We will have to start planning a trip, I guess. New vehicle, new internet source, new weather. Also, the lawn is getting the first cut of the season. Keeping the big green machine indoors through the winter means that starting for the first time in the season was as easy as pressing the go button.
