Over 90 years, a 104-year-old has been catching lobsters: "I refuse to retire."

Virginia Oliver, at 104 years old, intends to embark on a sailing journey and continue her beloved occupation of lobster catching, which she has been doing for over 90 years.

In Maine, the "Lobster Lady" renewed her commercial lobster license before the start of lobster-catching season, as reported by TODAY.com.

Oliver, the subject of the mini documentary "Conversations with The Lobster Lady," has been lobstering for 91 years. The film was directed by Wayne Gray and Dale Schierholt in 2019.

She said she likes to continue lobstering.

In peak season from June to October, Oliver and her 81-year-old son, Maxwell, go out on their boat "Virginia" three times a week to catch lobsters.

"I don't want to go for five days," Oliver stated. "That's a routine task and I don't require it."

I usually wake up at a quarter to 5 a.m. every day, but when we go out to haul, I get up at a quarter to 3 a.m.

Oliver prepares bait bags for lobster traps, and after her son pulls out the lobsters, she checks their size and discards any that don't meet the criteria.

She always dresses up before going on the boat.

At eight years old, Oliver went lobstering for the first time with his father, who owned a store and was a lobster dealer. His task was to weigh the lobsters and pump the gas for the boat.

She persisted in lobstering alongside her deceased spouse, despite the fact that many women did not engage in this occupation.

"When I first began lobstering, no women were involved. Now, there are several women participating," Oliver stated. "That was simply my lifestyle. I didn't concern myself with others' actions or plans. I did what I wanted, but I was always self-reliant."

Oliver revealed his secret to living to 100 when asked, stating, "To keep living and working is the key. It's not an easy task."

Oliver's lifestyle choices, including staying active, adhering to a schedule, and avoiding smoking and alcohol, have contributed to her success, as reported by TODAY.com.

Oliver spent much of his childhood near water and resided on multiple islands off the coast of Maine, including Andrews Island, the Neck of Andrews Island, Dix Island Harbor, and others.

Dan Buettner, a longevity expert, stated in June that nearly all of the world's blue zones, which are communities with the longest lifespans, are located near water. Living near water appears to improve our mood, according to Buettner.

Lobstering is something Oliver loves and he never plans to stop doing it.

"She informed TODAY.com that she had no plans to retire and intended to continue until her death."
