Harbour fatigue is and has been a problem for the last number of years. I don't know how these guys do it. I honestly don't. They're trying to fish. They're trying to make a living. If they have to phone an electrician, they can't phone him at 4:30 in the morning when they get up. They have to wait and phone him from their cellphone in the middle of hauling their lobster gear at half past eight.
If you're doing a job you love, that's one thing, but when you're doing a job you love, and you're doing a voluntary job on top of it for everybody's good, and you are the guy.... I know, working a paid position, the wonderful praises and glories I get some days. I can only imagine taking that as a volunteer.
The other hard part of the other harbours that don't have employed positions is that sometimes it actually can affect them on the water as well.
It really is. It's getting to the point where the harbour fatigue has grown quite a bit on P.E.I. You're seeing very good people just stop and walk away.
