Got Crabs?
I’m a total wuss when it comes to anything remotely athletic or dirty as this video will attest. We did have a great time, and though the crabs weren’t really biting, the dinner was delicious!
Not quite heaven, but you get the idea!
Talk about a fish out of water!
Are my hands going to smell?
Eva could beat me in anything. LOL
This little seal kept eyeing us (or was it the Loch Ness monster??)
Taylor made a surprise visit this morning. I stood on a rock to prove I was still taller than him.

save one for me
nothing like waking up to another episode of World’s Deadliest Catch! my guess is that the family back at the farm would be embarrassed by your rookie performance! – lol but hey, it looks like a good time was had by all and you can have my share of the catch! peace, Al
It is kind of obvious that you did not seem to enjoy the crabbing part. lol. Hope you enjoy your role as the video guy and the crab-taster. Fresh crab is very yummy.
The music made the video even more interesting and OMG! Those crabs are huge!
And awesome pics again!
ah i tried that be4, but no luck…
by the way u hv reli nice pictures!!!! the spider web is sooooooo cool!!! how did you take those pictures?
If you’re ever down this way you are officially invited to a crawfish boil. You’d be a total blast and you’d leave well-fed. Great video and pictures!
What a great video. Looks like a great time.
Looks like some good food!
looks fun!
Carey 2.0: Total geniosity. I particularly relished the video soundtrack.
Cheers, Yo
Carey 2.0: That video is total geniosity. Particularly like the soundtrack. Thanks for the good times:) Have a great day in Portland.
carey 2.0: Total geniosity. I particularly enjoyed the video soundtrack. Have a great day in the PDX, and say hi to the gang for me:)
that was fabulous carey. and you did good. i couldn’t have touched it with my bare hand. i would have wanted to use a stick or pen or something. that was super how you all caught them and cooked them and ate them. that is really something.
The little mermaid??? LOL! After listening to the music and watching the video that is all I could think about!
It looked fun to me but you are right, it didn’t look like you were too into the crabbing thing. It also looked really yummie!
Just one last thing, were they still alive when you stuck them in the pot of boiling water? That just seems so mean to me! Is there a reason people don’t kill them first?
seals are scary… -_-* never get to close to one. esp in the open water lol
Woooow crabs. Nice.
Olala, crabbing seems really fun….. I wanna try. (heh)
@wutuwaitn4 - I brought it home in my suitcase…come and get it
Thanks Jad.
@pukemeister - LOL @ Deadliest Catch. Yeah, just like that!
@stevew918 - Oh I enjoyed it. I was just being a drama queen!
@Dezinerdreams - Thanks Vivek. I made the music a little too loud, but it worked :)
@VoiceOfPatriots - Thanks! I took the spider web with a manual setting and a flahs….with the sun in front of me
@MlleRobillard - Thanks for the invite. I just might have to take you up on that! Thanks for the earthquake well wishes too!
@jeffersonpart2 - Thanks! We had a great trip.
@wherethefishlives - It was indeed. Thanks.
@generasianx - Thanks Tony!
@razzlebash - I must confess…we bought the big ones
@bowzere - Thanks! I wondered the same thing about boiling them alive, then found this: http://www.ochef.com/635.htm
@Sc12EeN17aM3 - I definitely wasn’t swimming!
@kim85 - Thanks!
@Lewis - You’ll have to join us next time Lewis.
@CareyGLY - that’s okay, i won’t tell anyone.
Is crabbing a hunter or gatherer responsibility? Either way, its certainly more difficult when those little buggers are smarter and faster than us. Good thing we’re bigger.
@jaywright00 - More like good thing YOU were there to cook and clean them! My hero!
wow that’s professional…
Looks like fun! And looks delicious!
@davballguy - Thanks
We had a good time!
Lol you caught more than that guy at first! :D
Welll donee!!! :D:D:D
Lol btw the crabs look fastastic! :)
@Loltothepower - Thanks Jin! I actually saved you one. Shall I send it?
Ooh, I love crabs! What a yummy summertime treat. I try not to think of them as having been alive at one point, lol
@supafluffolus - Thanks for dropping by. I like crabs too…but I think I’ll let the pros catch them from now on!
ooh wow. you actually caught your own crabs. that looks like a ton of fun
@caihwei - Well, we didn’t have much luck…we had to buy them in the end…but it was still fun :)
