Lobster Pots

It seems to be zillions (big number) of lobster pots in the bays in the NE. It somethimes is hard enough to avoid all their floats, but there seems to be another force in play. No matter what track you are on the boat will naturally make slight course changes in other to head to the nearest pot float. Who would have thought there was that much gravitational attraction be given off by those floats. I always wondered how the lobsterguys could keep track of the pots, maybe this attraction is the key.
