Harlan is the 9-year old nephew of
Barnacle Babs. When he's not in school or studying bugs 'n birds and
other creatures of the coastline, he helps out his Aunt Babs at the
fish market. His father, Martin, was Barnacle Babs’ brother. They
opened the Village Seafood and Fresh Fish Market as a family business
just after
Harlan was born. When he was only 2-years old both of his parents were
lost at sea when a sudden winter storm took down their fully loaded
trawler. Fortunately, Harlan’s life has stayed on an even keel – in
large part due to Barnacle Babs’ big heart and affectionate spirit. His
bright demeanor and comic wit keeps Ocean Rudee’s life filled with more
than just good things to eat from the sea.
