Sometimes, the difference between the intrigue and joy of abstraction and the grit and sweat of reality is merely a matter of framing. Here, we see eye-catching gear from last year’s lobster season.
Below, we see the gear as it really was Sunday (January 26), on a weather-beaten raft in foggy Naskeag Harbor.
The raft likely will be hauled up and stored with others in the pier parking lot there until being put back into the water in June. (Brooklin, Maine)
