IN OUR ELEMENT | Setting Day on Grand Manan
Today is more than just another day on Grand Manan. It’s SETTING DAY! 🦞
A day filled with excitement, anticipation, and a whole lot of hard work as our island’s lobster fishermen head out onto the Bay of Fundy to kick off another season.
And for us, it’s a little extra special because one of those hardworking fishermen is also your host here at Element Four!
This morning, Mama and our littlest crew member headed down to the beach to see the boats off, then down to the wharf late morning to help Daddy load up the rest of the traps. There’s something pretty magical about watching all those boats light up the horizon as the sun begins to rise.
It’s moments like these that remind us what makes Grand Manan so special. Fishing isn’t just an industry here. It’s a way of life, a family tradition, and the heartbeat of our little island.
To all the fishermen heading out today, we wish you calm seas, full traps, and a safe and successful season! 🦞
And to the families waiting on shore, here’s to another season of early mornings, long days, and proud little ones watching their daddies do what they do best.
This is island life. This is Grand Manan. This is our element.
