Lobster fishing! (Yeah, We're back in Norway)

Woohoo, first time I (Erlend) write two posts in a row!!! ...oh, yeah, and woohoo because we're back in Norway for the first time in one and a half years.

Today, while Anne and Alia went to town with my mom, a nephew and a niece, I went out to check the lobster pots with my father and brother.

Here's the marina where my father and brothers boat is. They own one together.

Thats it. Very good little boat.

My brother, eager to find out if there's any lobsters, or just boring ol' crabs.

"Captain" Dad 

On the way out we saw three of the least favorite boats of any lobster fisher: the sea weed trawler.

(These boats are very damaging for crabs and lobsters, which naturally makes it a bad thing for lobster fishers... Today they were not just in the area, they were right on top of all the lobster pots. Not nice... they probably just wanted to see if they could get some lobsters with the sea weed...) 

The island I'm from is right out there in the open sea. The next island west would be Iceland or Greenland.

They have 10 pots, and here the first one is being checked.

The captain waiting for the content report. (Wearing overalls from the big boat I used to work on back in the day)

As the sun was setting, a huge, red moon rose.

 It was pretty cool looking... at 4:30 in the afternoon :-P

The stupid sea weed trawlers were still there...

The catch: 5 lobsters and a few crabs. 

Earlier today Anne, Alia and I ate one they had caught earlier.

Still fresh though, because they have a storage in the ocean, so we just picked one, took it home, boiled it and enjoyed it. 

I gave Alia a piece... she looked at it, shrugged her nose, smelled it, shrugged her nose again, but then opened her mouth, ate it and walked away. 

I assume she liked it, because a few seconds later, she came back saying "meih, meih." which is her version of the word "more" (English), "mehr" (German) and "meir" (Norwegian).

As a conclusion I can say that its really great to be home, to meet family and friends, and to get to do things like lobster fishing.
