Fellow Potters- The time you've all been waiting for has come, I know this rant is extremely overdue. All I can say is that I've been holding out on you to muster up some really good content…which really hasn't happened.
This past lobster season was one for the books - and I don’t mean the Guinness book of world records!
Despite the slow lobster season we had a pretty big year for the Badgers Island Empire. Just when I thought I could handle the stress of two kids, Tony decides to finally sell his place to us...bring on the PBRs (and happy pills)! That's the real reason why I wasn’t sitting at my computer spending countless hours writing LD blogs over the summer. On top of being a once renowned blogger, lobster catcher, chicken farmer, airbnb cleaner, property manager, etc; I actually had to figure out how to run a marina (aka 5 slips)....Kinda weird for a guy who grew up on a lake and in the sticks of VT!!
I know you really just want to know what the final number was and who won the pot, no one really cares about my problems or fluff content anyway! We did have a number of you who were able to either experience our fishing expeditions (a completely different experience with the two boys, compared to last summer), herd chickens around the yard, or enjoy our tasty little sea creatures and eggs over the summer. Being able to share a little piece of the Empire with all of you, makes everything worth it! I have to say, I am really excited for this year's winner and am hoping she makes a trip up to Maine in 2022 (must be present to collect winnings - Rule only applies to you, says Liza). An original and committed lobster potter, a kick ass medical professional, and an all-around great friend.
Congratulations Kim Romansky - You are the 2021 LDL Co. Lobster Pot Champion!!! Yay! We caught 481 lobsters, well below projections. Kim had a guess of 484.
To update those of you who do not know about our latest project… opening Spring 2022 “The Buoy Shack” local lobster rolls and more, right here on Badgers Island (pending Town approval)! We present to the Town at 6:00pm on Thursday in hopes to get this approved!! Here is the zoom link for those interested...
We need all the support we can get. Yours truly will probably 1000% have to talk at some point, I'm sure after a few PBRs it could be comedy - although I really need this to work so I might delay the Peeeebers till after!!!! I have a keg down in the bait cooler. If approved on Thursday you will find me there until it's gone! Send all your positive thoughts Northeast to us!
Jack Carter- you’re my next call and addition to the payroll. I need some help to get that ‘live updated spreadsheet thingy’ that Winshoreslam uses!!!!! So everyone can live track throughout the season instead of waiting on my delayed rants! Happy Holidays from the team at LDL Co.
