During the spring and summer Sunday is not a day of rest for area shrimp professionals. We saw several shrimp trawlers last Sunday from our beach chairs on Sullivan’s Island. They were returning to their home docks from a hopefully fruitful day with their nets out in the ocean.
The shrimp boats' distinctive profile is visible from miles away. When they are close enough I try to read their names via my camera’s zoom lens. And it’s neat to see the trawlers in relation to people on the beach. It’s the combination of recreation and commerce that is the heart, soul and economy of seaside cities like Charleston.
