my name is natalee hitz. i am (at least) a 4th generation lobsterman out of cushing maine. the root of our family is my grandpa, mike myrick. although it doesn’t seem real quite yet, he passed away november 17th, 2025 from a very sudden major heart attack. the biggest piece of him that we have left is his boat, however, in order for my grandmother to retire we will have to sell it. my goal is to raise enough money to buy the boat off of her and keep my grandfathers legacy alive on his own boat. my mom has her boat, f/v pretty in pink that will be launched this spring, it is my dream to fish alongside her. i really appreciate all the love and support ! thank you
