  Well thank you Katie. Large shrimp off that boat, $5.00 a pound. An orgy, of sorts.

That boat looks almost military with all the color sucked out of it. Nice 😉

Life is like a box of chocolates. That’s what I think when I see shrimp boats. Looks like a hard working rig and now I wonder who Jonathan is 😀
