Commercial Lobster Fishing w/ Photographer Bri Dwyer

Previously, I posted a photo journal about what it looks like when my commercial lobster fishing fiancĂ© pulls traps (or “pots”) off the coast of Southern California.

This week is a special treat because here are images of the same trip through the eyes of photographer Bri Dwyer! (You met Bri through this interview about what it’s like to be married to a commercial fisherman here.) Her Instagram is super dreamy, too, with captions that pull you right into the photographs.

If you have a partner who commercially fishes, please share what and where they fish in the comments below! It’s so nice to meet others who are basically in the same boat, pun intended. (It never gets old. Sorry, I had to.)

Diary: Confessions of a Captain’s Wife Trying Not To Lose It Pre-Season

It’s funny. Each year, we expect the pre-and-post-season’s goodbyes, reunions, and stresses to go differently, easier than the last time. And, sometimes, they do. But partners in our Private FB group and I have discovered that it can get more challenging. Like, make-you-cry-when-you-haven’t-cried-in-years challenging. Or those moments simply remind you how fleeting life can be.

I reread this entry with mounting anxiety as Chris and I enter into spiny lobster season in California, which is a reminder that I need to work on “letting shit go.” (The practice that never ends! Am I right?) If you can relate, please share in the blog’s comments section to connect! Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone is doing great out there! Xo – Megan
