Crisfield Watermen

 “The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore” ~ Vincent van Gogh

 Let me reiterate: I admire the captains who work the Chesapeake bay. They are out in all kinds of weather, leaving their homes long before many people go to bed.  I just can't praise them enough, so here is another photo, taken from the dock at Glenwood Evans in Crisfield on a cold and windy day. It was filtered to resemble a painting.

Note: The passing boat in the foreground belongs to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

"When you live for a strong purpose, then hard work isn’t an option.  It’s a necessity." ~  Steve Pavlina

I admire and respect the hard work of our local watermen. I took this photo on New Year's Eve, late afternoon. When most everyone was getting gussied up for parties, our waterman were hard at work bringing in oysters.
