The Day's Catch

All of the activity of the last couple of days has caught up with me, so I decided to go out and get my blip early, then rest until my evening yoga class.  I headed to the Chatham Fish Pier, in part because parking becomes impossible later in the day.  I went to look for wildlife, but I found that the seals are not photogenic, and I've already gotten shots of seagulls. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the commercial fishing boats were already heading back in.  Perhaps they went out extra early due to the heat.  I watched numerous boats unload their catches, piling the fish into a machine that looked like a backhoe to be weighed.  This fisherman is waiting his turn, winding up his net.  His catch can be seen in the bin behind the cabin.
