  • Jimmy doing a high wire routine as the boat makes its way to deeper waters.
  • A sample haul to determine where the shrimp are located.
  • A fellow shrimper with the outriggers lowered drags its nets off the shores north of Georgetown.
  • One of the benefits of rising early: watching the sun rise over the Atlantic.
  • Sunrise glistens off the waters as the Miss Nichole circles around with its nets dragging the bottom.
  • This view looked really nautical to me—like some of the old naval war pictures I had seen that had been taken in the South Pacific.
