While I’ve been oystering and clamming, a good friend of mine, Richie Billington, has been getting his shrimp boat overhauled and ready for the white shrimp run. Some would say that it’s already happened, but those are the captains that just don’t want any one else to get out there and catch the shrimp…you don’t see them tying their boats up for the winter. Richie has worked super hard over the past 3 months to overhaul all of his standing and running rigging as well as reinforce the deck under the winch as well as about a million other things. I’ve helped him on and off, but now we’re getting down to the last minute and there’s still a bunch to do. My brother-in-law, Will McNelis, is also helping when he can which has freed me up to go oystering or clamming several times…THANKS WILL! Now I’m switching my focus to shrimping for the next two or so months and Will will be getting the oysters for our orders and delivering them when I can’t get out there.
