I’ve always loved shrimp boats even before Forrest Gump was a “shrimpin’ boat captain” cause I guess I’ve always loved shrimp.
I was recently in Daytona Beach at DJ’s Deck, where I shot these photos, doing a blog post for Spring Break in Daytona Beach where I saw these shrimp boats.
Why do I love shrimp? Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.
Thunder Alley at Daytona International Speedway was the place to be during Biketoberfest. The size of the crowd outside Turn 4 appeared a little light, it may have had something to do with the track being repaved and no access to the infield.
This nice custom chopper is from G. Smith Motorsports.

Nice chrome job by Chromemasters.
I have many more pictures of Biketoberfest 2010 including photos of bikes and bikers, beer girls and even a wet-t shirt contest at Dirty Harry’s.

I’ve always loved shrimp boats almost as much as I love the taste of wild native shrimp. When I see shrimp boats in the Gulf scooping up oil from BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster, my heart sinks as the environmental and economic disaster unfolds and wonder how the oil spill will affect Florida beaches and coastal waters.
Shrimping off northeast Florida beaches starts off Ortega River Inlet near Jacksonville Beach.
