Master and Commander of the Crab


The boat trip was a rousing success. We saw humpback whales!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure they remember me from Maui. We checked 5 pots and we caught a total of 30 crabs. We now know how to hold a crab or in Amy's case not hold a crab. She still has 10 fingers but one has a lovely smiley face bruise courtesy of Mr. Crab. We can tell a female crab from a male crab and no, it is not what you think. Here is Amy, the new crabmaster with her favorite crab. Notice she ripped a leg off. It was all we could do to keep her from eating the raw crab. Apparently, it was in retribution of the pincer attack that resulted in the bruised finger. Don't get Amy angry is all I can say. She is ready to send her resume to the boat Northwestern to land a job as a greenhorn. If you watch the show Deadliest Catch, you know what that means. I don't watch it because it isn't on PBS. We are heading home on the "bouncy" seas to boil up some crab.
