Crabbing...

This past weekend we were invited to join our neighbor James on his boat to go crabbing. He's got quite the set up and we had a great time! On board were James, Bill, Daryl and I. We left from Camano Island State Park and dropped four pots on the north side of the island. After dropping the pots we headed over to Deception Pass - wow, it's so beautiful from the water!! From there we stopped at Oak Harbor for a bathroom break and then back to check on our pots. Once re-baited and moved slightly, we enjoyed a nice lunch in the sun. Our total catch was 15 crabs. James brought his big cooking pot over... I just could not be outside when they were being put into the pot, my heart goes out to all living things - ocean bugs included.

Daryl ended up with the task of getting them cooked since James had to leave. Mishelle and Ryan came over to eat some of it though - and thankfully so - we didn't know what to do with them!
