DANIEL CREE
GRAPPLER
What did you do for work or school before coming here?
I’ve done this for a long time, but I used to lobster fish. Everything I’ve done is on the water.
I like getting an hour extra sleep – we get up at four to work instead of three when I fished lobster.
What do you like about the job?
I like sailing, I like being on the water and the people here are good It’s just nice being out and about in the fresh air and not stuck in a building somewhere all day. I throw grapple, tie socks on, and trip seed.
What would you tell someone who is curious about working here?
I’d give her a shot if you like the water and nice scenery. You should be ready to work a little bit. You should have good dry gloves and dry warm boots.
Are there any other positions in this company that you can see yourself doing in the future?
Oh yeah, for sure. I wouldn’t mind running the boat someday. To do a little bit here and there for Greg (the captain) if he’s away.
