Catch shares were on the minds of the New Bedford fishermen and on the signs on the sides of their boats that made a convenient detour into Vineyard Haven harbor yesterday in a dignified protest aimed at President Obama.

Five other boats also intended to join the armada, but were delayed preparing for the fishing trip that was the purpose of the visit to the Vineyard.
After the tour of the Vineyard Haven harbor, the boats passed through Oak Bluffs harbor on the way to the fishing grounds at Georges Bank.
