something in the water


For a boy from the prairie, its always a treat to spend time around the ocean. While passing through Yarmouth on my way back to Maine, I stumbled upon the annual "Shark Scramble." Basically a bunch of dudes killing sharks for no good reason. Atlantic fisheries have collapsed to the point where tourist events are the only way fishermen can make some money.

The "winning" shark was 367kg.

I did make about $30 busking on the wharf during the weigh-in though. So I guess it wasn't all bad.
