Things are remaining quiet in Petit De Grat. The New Brunswick shrimp fleet is wintering here again this year.The reason for this is that the harbor in Caraquet freezes over and they cannot get out for shrimping here in March.It also saves them on fuel costs.Here we see Dominic Francis, Lady Gloria & Marc-Andre Guillaume alongside the wharf in Petit De Grat.


Here is a shot of Claudelle Marie and lobster boat Holly J  also in winter layup.



These 2 vessels are owned by Eskasoni and are in lay-up until the crab season starts sometime in April. The Charlie Joe Dennis is their newest vessel.She was delivered last year and rumor has it they are ordering another new one this year.The one astern of Charlie Joe Dennis is the Sanwel Paul built by Samson Enterprises.
