Trip to Maine

Today we went to Maine to visit various locations. First we went to the harbor to see another lobsterman, Jim. He is an experienced lobsterman who has seen it all. As one of the most respected lobsterman in the area, Jim knows his lobster territory and regulations so that others may not break that code of conduct. One surprised me most, is that lobstermen, just like hockey players have a certain code of conduct that one is not meant to break. They are like unspoken rules. Just as hockey players do not kick with their skates when they are in a fight, lobstermen, without calling authority, figure their problems with one another on their own, whether it be by means of piracy or confrontation.
