What a perfect day. It was Lake Atlantic today. So calm and warm. The ocean was glassy. You didn't need a glass bottom boat. Just looking over the side of the kayak and you could see to the reef and all the critters 20-25 feet below.




Today is the first day of lobster mini-season. Today and tomorrow is open season for sport divers to catch lobster. The regular season, where commercial fisherman are allowed to take lobster starts on August 6. Today and tomorrow are just for us. I still can't get over what a perfect day it was. The picture below was taken at the end of our dive when the wind had picked up a bit giving a slight chop to the water. Hopefully you can still see how clear it is tho.



Yes! Jim caught lobster.



Before we can take them home for dinner, they must get inspected by the Fish and Wildlife representative.




I'm happy to say we passed inspection, and now ... guess what we're about to have for dinner?

Jim, put those lobsters back! I saw my stickers that say "Property of Diane Thomas". I knew I should've flown back into town to protect my babies...

They have been at "home" for over a month.

Looks like it's over, just like I said.......

do you have to have a fishing license to catch lobster?

Can't believe those guys swam all the way from Maine, just to become someone's dinner. What an ordeal and they still ended up on a dinner plate!
