I found the name Jana Marie on a list of lobster permits, with hull number 653408. Hull numbers never change, and that connected to Pot Luck in Florida. One note says Pot Luck was constructed in 1983; builder's records are incomplete.

Pot Luck was in the "golden crab" (Chaceon fenneri) fishery around Florida before being brought up to Boston for lobsters. Photo date March 6, 2018.

The lobster boat Pot Luck is seen on a chilly January morning in Cape Cod Bay.

Now home for lobsters

The Jana Marie is a memorial reef placed in memory of avid fisherman Doug Oakland. Although it was sunk in August, New York State didn't get around to announcing it until December, and then on Facebook. Does anyone still use Facebook?

Zippers, Seals, Valves & Maintenance

There's no doubt about it, drysuits require a great deal more maintenance than wetsuits. However, much of it is well within the capabilities of a home handyman with readily available materials and tools. The following guide should give some idea of what is involved in owning a drysuit, although there is no need for you to do these things yourself if you don't want to!

Zipper

The waterproof zipper of a drysuit is a really neat device. It is quite different from a normal clothing zipper, and exactly how it works is not obvious. Here are some close-ups of an old zipper that I cut up:
