So i get to work this morning and our fish monger Mike tells me he sold the big boy lobster in the tank. SWEET! Then he tells me who it's for- Paul Watson, captain of the Sea Shepard and star of "Whale Wars" on the Animal Planet Channel.
So here is the deal- one of our customers sent a message to Mr. Watson about the GIANT lobster in our tank. I am guessing that they realized that he is around 75 years old (the lobster, not Paul) and felt that he needed to be saved. Paul got the message and decided that he could do something about it.
So Paul is grabbing some fresh sea water on Thursday morning, driving to Reno to pick up "Reggie", our lobster friend, from the lobster tank and deliver him to a Lobster Sanctuary.....
If you would like to see him off, we are holding a going away party on Thursday afternoon down at 7300 S. Virginia.
Best of luck Reggie- send a postcard!!
And special thanks to Dave at Vantage Pointe for the awesome picture!!
