The Shrimp Boat


Little did we know when we took this picture just off our marina entrance, that this boat would be docked directly across from our berth. Now, you think I'm going to talk about shrimping, don't cha! No, we're more focused on his generator! For some reason, this engine does not start until the generator runs a bit. This shrimp boat sails each day before 5:30 AAAA MMMM! and I used to think when I worked for Grumman Aircraft, that when they tested those jet engines, nothing could be louder! Wrong! All of life is comparative and when you are in a sound sleep at 5:10 AAA MMM or to our Coast Guard Auxiliary Friends OOOOOO510 -- those jet engines in Grumman? They were a piece of cake!! Of course age has nothing to do with it, right? I was 19 at Grumman -- almost 60 with the shrimp boat. Naw, age has nothing to do with it!
