Pulling

No need to go to the gym for a good workout. The guys finally have the net all together and are in the process of pulling it onto the trailer so they can get it down to the dock and onto the boat, where it will be much easier to move, thanks to the help of the power block. Most of the fishermen had their own docks with the shed on the dock. My husband's dad built his shed just above his home which made it very handy when it came time to work on the net, but not so handy when it came time to transfer it onto his boat. But, since they lived directly above city dock, it was just a short drive down the hill, onto the dock and, in his day, lots of pulling by hand onto the "turn table" because the power block hadn't been invented yet.
As always, lots of prayers for our fishermen as they head out for their annual season.
