As long as we are going on about language shift, I'd like to take a poke at WifeyB (no pun intended about the use of the word "like". I find it amusing and sometimes endearing, but it does conjure images of a bleach blond surfer girl type twisting her hair with one finger, a slight head tilt, a whimsical look on her face (vapid?) whilst chewing gum and saying "and I was like,,,then she was like,,,". My daughter comes to mind. She is very well educated (PHD at 24) but is very much a girl of her times. She talks just like her age group.
You got it. My lobster boat is no longer used to catch lobsters so I guess I have to find a new description for it.
As a resident of almost downeast Maine I have to tell you that your boat is not a lobster boat. It is a lobster yacht. At least that is the terminology here. If you want I will ask Jarvis Newman the next time I see him to get a definitive answer
Boats 7,8, 9 and 12 are trawlers ... all others are not.
That's inaccurate.
Did Marin get sent to banned camp ?

I bet you thought you got away with that! ��
Seriously it's hard not to start talking like all the people around you. When I went to Memphis for several mos my mother almost kicked me out when I came home. Said I like sounded like a hillbilly. See what I mean.
Boats 3,5,8 and 9 in my pictures above are actual downeast cruisers (an Ellis, a Hinckley and two Wilburs - all built in Southwest Harbor, ME).
but I feel like Marin Wants to "Marinize" the term trawler, and by Marinize I mean make it whatever he says it should be.
