Great series, Janice. I enjoyed the similarities the Chesapeake watermen you cover share with New England lobstermen around whom I spent my summers. The way they think, how they care about their work, and even how they name their boats.

You write beautifully Janice.
What a wonderful note to read! You made my day Jen. Thank you doesn't seem quite adequate. So glad you are enjoying my work. J

Definitely! Striking to me too. Did you go out with the lobstermen last year?
Yes, we worked on the lobster boat last year, and plan to repeat this year.
