WHY I AM A WATERMAN
"First of all it's the freedom; that is number one. It's the appeal of hunting for the fish. There is always the hope of a Big Catch; that's the reason I go out there. There is the whole aspect of being in God's Creation; the natural beauty of the bay. It's tough work, but it has its rewards. I'm absolutely fulfilled by it! ---Jimmy Dare, Longtime Bowers' Waterman

[from Henry Benner's "The History and Spirit of Bowers Beach ... a Fishing Village."]
