Lobstering from the back poach

Sharon wanted some lobster for us while we are visiting so she invited some friends over to go diving for lobster in the channel off her back poach.  They showed up with full scuba gear and a drysuit for the 60 degree channel water.

The lobsters.  I got trained on how to clean a lobster.  My first try without a pair of gloves was a fail and the spinney lobsters lived up to there name but I gave it a second try with gloves on and got it figured out.

That night we went out to a sports bar and found this pelican hanging just outside at sunset.

Is "poach" a Freudian slip ;)

I think that's a good guess. It's also phonetically correct for the area. But, most likely it's because Ken's a writer and not an editor. :)
