If I'm not fishing, I'm working on gear or my boat. Or meetings involving fishing. It's what I eat, sleep and breathe," lobsterwoman Julie Eaton tells me.

Eaton lives on Deer Isle, and fishes Penobscot Bay - a deep blue inlet of the Gulf of Maine, dotted by working waterfronts, rocky islands, wooden schooners and lobster buoys. I ask her what it's like to start lobster season.
