There was only about 30 people there when I was a kid and
just me and my sister
we were the only children.
The rest were smelly old fishermen,
including my dad.
And he's still there,
mum and dad are still there,
and I get back there quite often.
And my dad was a lobster fisherman,
and my grandfather was a lobster fisherman,
and his dad was a lobster fisherman,
and my brothers are all lobster fishermen,
and my sisters are all married
to lobster fishermen.
So I think I've got it in the blood.
This is my story.
