Seaside Lobsterfest Continues

On Tuesday, was the Fisherman's Lunch and Learn with music provided by Dennis & Buddy. They were very good.  Lunch was lobster sandwiches and freshly baked cinnamon rolls accompanied by a shot of rum cause that's what fisherman do.

The learning part of the event was provided by Michelle T., Director of the local Marine Research Center.  She gave a very interesting talk on lobsters.  Who knew lobsters could be so fascinating?  We learned facts such as lobsters have 3 teeth but they are in their stomach, the females can lay tens of thousands of eggs and then they carry them around under their tails for pretty much one full year.  Of the fifty thousand + eggs, she may lay, one may make it to maturity.  We learned how to tell the males and females apart.  Richmond County, which is where we are, has the best lobsters in the world and the lobster industry brings in millions of dollars into the county each year.







After this event, I packed up Pearl and Ralph and we went for a walk on Grand Greve beach, which is about ten minutes from the house.  I find this beach quite interesting as there are boulders against which the waves come crashing, a grassy knoll and lots to explore.
