The Catch

Looking for info on the upcoming New Puzzle Pattern Contest? Look here, or simply scroll through previous posts. Detailed instructions will be posted August 1.

The whole shrimping thing is a team effort. Everyone contributes. The first attempt yielded bupkiss in the way of shrimp, but we did get the traps set up, the lines tied, etc. Progress is good.

If you’re wondering what Mike and I do, Mike runs the boat and I take pictures. See? Everyone contributes.
