In describing the scene, Tammy says: "As you can imagine, this is a most remote area ... where one can still see many places untouched by commercialism. This boat was docked as many were, but seemed to want to have its picture taken. Even the bird on the piling beside the boat seemed to be at rest as I was snapping the picture."
"My husband could not imagine why I wanted to take a picture of a fishing boat. But for me, the boat is a reminder of a trade that people too often forget when they order an expensive entree. I wanted to remember and tell my children just how much they should be thankful for the fishermen."
