  1. What a beautiful story of a wonderful career of a positive minded lady. I enjoyed your “biography ” so much. I’m originally from Brunswick, now living in New Hampshire. My older brother was a fisherman most of his life, which helps me to understand the lows and highs of anyone in working the waters of Maine. As difficult as being a lobsterman is, it certainly has many benefits that make it worthwhile.
    Congratulations Captain Eaton!
