Today I stood on the same wharf, again with a two year-old, watching the same man on the same trap-loaded boat, but also watching our now 16 year-old head out with his dad to help them set.
It's been blowing all week. They were supposed to set Tuesday but because of the constant wind, Setting Day had to be postponed until today. It's still rough out there and my heart is anxious. They will be home somewhere around 7-8:00 tonight. Tomorrow will begin long months for Sherman. I remember Brady crying when he was little because he hadn't seen daddy for close to two weeks. It will not be uncommon now for Sherman to leave home between 4-5 AM and not get home until 8-9 PM. It is long, hard, dangerous work.
I pray God will bless the fishermen, that He will bring them home safely every night and bless the work of their hands.
Amen

We went down again around 1:00 to watch them load the boat for the second trip. It was naptime so we didn't stay until they were finished.
