  • Repairing torn nets
  • Four hands are better than two
  • Stiching together two halves of the net
  • No less than a seamstress's skills are needed to repair the yards of nets.
  • The net was torn after being caught on the ocean bottom.
  • The culprit.
The Miss Nichole limped home after its net got caught on an anchor chain on the ocean bottom.  Because of the price of fuel this becomes a more than uncomfortable situation.  The crew of the Miss Nichole lost a considerable amount of money that day.
