"Well, what's the good to jump inside, you know, the lobsters is not in that far yet?" "Well, why don't we give it a try?" But if I want to do something, if I think we should go in or go off, well, we'll weigh the facts and think where's best. We work together pretty good. He doesn't grumble. He was kind of glad that we did end up together 'cause we can work at our own pace. If we want to be out there all day, we can. When you go at the pots in the morning and you go at the lump nets in the evening, we've even been Saturday as high as 7:30 in the evening, nonstop. My husband don't believe in coming in with the first little bit of wind. He likes for the wind to really drive him in. We were out there a few times and it was a bit rough and we had the lobster pots. We were in close to the land and I used to say, "No, I think you better leave them b'y, it's too close, you know." With the waves and everything, the way the wind would pick up, I used to think to myself, "What in the name of the world am I doing out here today?" I should have been in the plant, you know, 'cause at least I wouldn't have been out here in all this rough weather. But I wouldn't go back to the plant now. I wouldn't think about it. It feels good when you're out there on a good day. Just the same as you're in heaven, you go out and there's no wind, you can work away and you can give a bit of speed to her. You haven't got to worry. And I haven't got that boss running down me neck, saying "Come on, you got to get back to work." You get up early in the morning and get out there and it's beautiful. You can see the sun rise and sometimes we're out, you can see the sun setting. I'll say to Gerald, "We've went on the water with the sunrise. Now just look at it, it's starting to set." |
