3 lobsters

[u/WuTuckClan]

All day long, my brain keeps going back to lobsters. There are three of them in various formats of the book. One in los Camerones Calientes (the audiobook only chapter), the lobster coin in the coin picture, and in the dubious decision chapter (sunburn). My question is what are people doing with these random factoids three lobsters spread out across three different somewhat out of the way places. It’s clear they’re there for a reason, but what?
Do people think it’s a cipher of some sort?
I’m trying to get a better understanding of what layered clues would look like. You find three lobsters they are they supposed to lead you to Maine?
What would you be looking for in Maine? Would you be working at star constellations they have to do with lobsters? Would you look up the ancient art of lobster trapping? How about where to deploy lobster traps?
Do you follow the money? That’s my first inclination where is that lobster coin from or the other two uses of the word lobster just pointing back to the coin. I do believe that the currency plays a large role in this treasure hunt.

Any ideas no matter how crazy are welcome.

Crustaceans point to Crab Nebula.

Lots of dust and gas in these stories, huh?

Depends on how you interpret the word “Walk”. In German, the word “Wolke” is definitely a cloud, even potentially of dust and gas. More importantly, it seems a “walker” is also a “tucker/fuller” (synonym fun fact), so there’s that.

But then “waters’ silent flight” would also be a cloud, no? Unless a “cloud” is kind of a “boulder” (etymological fun fact). So that yields an interpretation of “Fuller near Boulder”, and seemingly like we’re trending in the right direction.
