Crabbing Part 1

On Saturday, we took the boat out for crabbing near the Hood Canal Bridge.  Kevin, Scott's brother assisted us.

We set the pots. The salt water made the little sailor very hungry and he had multiple snacks all day long.  It's amazing how much he can eat. 

 Since it was such a beautiful day-in the 90's, we decided to drive up to Port Ludlow to tour around.  

There were a lot of sailboats.

Before we pulled the pots,  Kevin (Scott’s brother) verified the regulations.

 

We were lucky to catch some crabs which were legal.  The dungeness crab were hard to come by and we got mostly rock crabs.

James kept a safe distance.  We asked him what do you do with the crab and he smiled and said, ‘Eat them!’  Sooo cute!  James kept telling Scott to pull up "More crabbie Daddy".

Velda cleaned the crab with a little supervision.

Scott cooked them.  His outdoor pot worked great!

Kristina (Kevin's wife), Scott and Velda shelled the crab.  Scott did the most!  Thanks Scott!

Allison made a very nice salad from the greens from her garden.

Allison made terrific crab melt sandwiches.   Yum!

We all enjoyed the fruits of our labor.  Connor and James sampled our cooking too.  We ate everything from land to sea.  Our dessert was homemade apple crisp from the apples just picked on Friday on our apple tree.
