Early Morning

and a fishing boat in our anchorage in Forward harbour...

the boat is a drum net seiner used in certain parts of the western United States as well as Canada, specifically on the coast of British Columbia, drum seining is a method of seine fishing which was adopted in the late 1950s and is now used exclusively in that region. The drum seine uses a horizontally mounted drum to haul and store the net instead of a power block. The net is pulled in over a roller, which spans the stern, and then passes through a spooling gear with upright rollers.
My image does not show the drum, but the two long
arms which get lowered with the net at the end of the arms.
