Febuary 7th 2009

drove from Portland to Gloucester tonight, every Febuary for 18 years since 1991,   1984 was around my first time taking out fish at STAR fisheries ,GUS

OFTEN I COME TO THE OLDEST SEA PORT IN NORTH AMERICA.

WENT TO THE CROW’S NEST , get the usual    two  hats   two beers  . one for each

person that might accompany me ,in our travels,

looked at the wall from my usual corner perch at the bar ,close to the door.

she noticed they changed the front  windows. i knew ,she hadn’t been there in years.

the old key board for the rooms upstairs hasn’t changed since the crew of the Andrea

Gail left in September 1991 ,

the  old   key board   . guess you  would  have to see it , to know what i’m talking about

she  does paranormal.  sitting at the bar , said she was getting  feelings  ,

what she  does, going to have to talk to her again.  IT HAS HISTORY surely

Crow’s nest   restless spirits ?

who ever took the picture off the wall ??  crew memorial at the crow’s nest???

you should return it back with the rest of the Andrea Gail crew photos

made another trip to Gloucester   went to cape pond ice   talked with Scott

the  Andrea Gail   stop at the Crows nest  gave Greg a card Andrea Gail history . com   looked for Moses , missed him all over  Gloucester,

Paul left portland to go fishing on the Theresa Marie 4. january 22nd  2009
he died on the boat about the fourth day fishing jan 26th 2009  78 miles off shore.
talked to one crewman in the taxi on commercial street .that was on the  boat
he told me this quote I never lost a man on the boat before.

tried to revive him for a long time.

paul could not breathe and collapsed.

post  script

basicly we just want comments

fishermans  or every day folks , friends of fisherman

no advertiser  please   , no subscribe necessary.

support your local fisherman,

portland  maine is  the dead fishermans  port,

hand full of lobsterman left .,   government regulations have made the east coast  ghost fishermans towns, D M R is out of control,

small fishing boats   FISH  not lobster  , but not limited ,

should be encouraged  , not out lawed  . or regulated out of the industry.

embraced by government ,

Gloucester times FRONT PAGE

peter of the western venture   getting  f  U  C  T , bool sheet

leave the  fisherman and industry alone  GOVERNMENT.

YOU DONT HAVE A CLUE.

have you not done enough damage.  more  marine patrol  in Maine

than there are fisherman.  do we need more state waste on salary

for a dead industry.   you gave every one a ticket twice

we got your  point . we all went  to Gloucester.

choke on your portland fish pier .

working waterfront  my  aching  ass  . who wants to pay for the cooler

million dollar complex to sell a couple fish sandwiches ,

Shame on some one ,.

dont blame the fisherman  that is  bull.

most are dead  ,

buy  my   book   please  . truth is stranger than fiction

leave Linda alone , she drifted over the  line .

any one ever think a tanker might have dragged the gear.

make a big deal  out of nothing , BLANK  EDIT  another fisherman

if linda is a notorious sword fish killer
cant wait to hear what they call me  ,  she  is  an ANGEL

linda if you get this message call me.  bob

over—    did  you   copy?

EDITOR wanted

went to gloucester tuesday decemer 16th 2008 .

one thing on my mind . photo the Lady Grace ,see if Moses was still in Gloucester.

captain Ron and i like to check on Gloucester. first stop at the Crows Nest . Terry was tending the bar.

Greg was sitting at the other end of the bar. we ordered two hats , two beers ,

any one seen Moses? someone said they just saw him at the fish pier aka state pier.

i knew he would stop at prattys moses . at prattys Joyce was smoking a cigarette .

long time native Gloucester barmaid at the Crows Nest in the 1900s. beautiful Lady.

got a short chat about the Andrea Gail she cried for Bobby Shatford . and his girlfriend camping out on her couch aftter they perished .

she gave me a long hug. an old friendly face .

walked in to Prattys took a picture of Moses and the captain Ron.

bartender started yelling at me no cameras ha ha ahaha, he was a stiff old prick

just like every captain would yell at me over the years no fuckin EDIT camera .

swear one captain dropped my camera over the side as we were getting off the boat after

a trip of throwing over dead haddock over for three days straight. took some nice shots .

lost to the sea for ever . you can see the last flash go off as it descended to the depths.

thousand pound quota on haddock. amendment 13 , the fleet of new england wasted millions of pounds of beautiful fish.

a shameful sin on management regulations. lots of fisherman know how we feel fishing on Georges banks. edit Georges deserves a capital letter.
back to Prattys , piss me off. i replied you let the deadliest catch bring their cameras in.

i walked out disgusted. went took a couple pictures on the fish pier, no one taking fish out,.

captain Ron and Moses were out front looking for me when i came back through . we had a crew of 4 now .

headed to mitchs next to the old timers across from the lady grace berth. across from Saint Peters.

got what i came for . roll of film featuring the movie boat for the perfect storm .

thanks Sebastion Junger for opening Pandoras box. it may have been like all the others

unknown unamed.

we are going to upload a photo gallery with captions and information.soon
thank you for bearing with us . Improvements to site are forthcoming, the Flying Frenchman. editor

the camera  is on the list of things that dont impress the captain .

get that EDIT camera out of my wheelhouse!   some crew are all for it .

for a smoke  ,or  a  watch.  do the dishes , prices i have paid for offshore pictures.

the halibut pictures on the Andrea Gail  in 1990 1991 winter . Linda Greenlaw was running the Hanah Boden.  they cost a few smokes . take the first watch home.

all  these pictures of the  perfect storm Andrea Gail on the web . the men in the photos were not the men who died on the boat .

only one man in the andrea gail photos  was lost .
