8/21/08 Sure wish I was going to be reporting that we have been catching tons of crab but such is not the case. The weather here took a turn for the worst about 4 days ago and has been so bad that for several days we couldn't even get out on the dock to re-bait our traps. The rain was pouring down and there was so much wind that we had to pull in our slide-outs. Since we are always working on staying fit and we try to walk at least 3 miles a day, that was the most frustrating part - that we couldn't get out to walk.
Now for the good part. This morning things were much better because we re-baited our traps and within 3 hours had 3 keeper crabs and patchy sunshine. So we are about to go out for our second walk of the day and checking our traps once again.

Hooray for KEEPERS!
Still sounds like a good time. Are we every going to have so much crab that we are all filling our frig, freezers and eating crab all the time. I hope next year. Our only trip planned for this year is our October trip to see you.
We can put the house up in 9 months can you believe it. Did you see the awesome job Gordon did on the fireplace?
Miss and love you two, Laura
Yum! I can't wait for my first crabbing...Do you have any special rituals for rookies?
Hi there, do you think you could send some of that wet, cold stuff our way out in Blythe?? It is so hot here, we can't wait to leave! Maybe someday, we too can join you in Winchester...
Hugs, Sharon & Ron
