George was flying around the harbor yesterday and took these pictures of me scalloping.

Two Sea Scallopers Patience And Endurance
While on my daily lurk of the waterfront I spied two sea scallopers laying at the end of Straight Wharf. So of course I had to wander down and have a look see. One was a big steel eastern rig. Her name was Patience. I have never heard of her before. I learned from Robert McDonald that she is an O'Hara boat. O'Hara Co. owns several commercial fishing boats. O'Hara also runs a big cube ice company out of Rockland, ME. Patience was a well run boat. Everything on her deck was neat and in it's place. These guys run a tight ship. The other scalloper was the Endurance. I have never seen here in Nantucket before either. She's a big western rig out of New Beige. I'd have to guess she's all of 100 feet if not more. She had two dredges on her deck. The Patience only had one. The Endurance also had a deck which was in order. These guys don't mess around. Everything was in good repair and well maintained. Typical highline boats.

Commercial Scalloping Season 2015
The commercial scallop season started today. It looks very very grim at best. There is no eel grass and very few scallops. The harbor bottom is dead. I grabbed a few shots of the fleet this morning while I was out scalloping.

Labor Day 2015
Summer is over finally! I've been wishing for this day since Memorial Day. We can finally have our island back to enjoy although the best time to live on Nantucket is January and February.
Here are some shots I grabbed while I was lurking around the waterfront recently.
