Wonderful photo of the Andrea C. I originally received this photo about 20 years ago from my cousin John Cerny, a long time navigator on the Andrea C. This photo was taken in 1992 and  I recently received this again from Kevin Madruga so I decided to post it ,by the way its always a good day to post a photo of the Castagnola Fleet.

I love this photo of the Claire P getting ready to let the lines go on another trip. Looks like a  wife saying goodbye in the rain, definitely wasn’t easy on the family’s left behind. [email protected]

This photo pretty much sums it up out to Sea , everyone working to get the school in the net. About right now your adrenaline level is at its peak, if you have ever been out to Sea you know what I mean. Share your photos at [email protected]

In my opinion the  best little seiner around is the Pisces, owned by Leo correia and family. Originally launched the John F Kennedy , this seiner is another that holds a special place in my family hearts. Besides the fact that the Correia family is as good as it gets in the community , I had many Cousins ,Uncles fish aboard this seiner one actually was skipper for a while. It was definitely a sad day when this seiner was sold. Share your memories at [email protected]
