PICTURES ADDED! What a great weekend!
Thursday evening I raced from work straight to Lady Jo where I launched her and sailed in almost perfect conditions with a student of mine!
Lady Jo sporting her new sails waiting for guests!
New sail cover and deck bag ordered and on their way!
Lady Jo at sunset waiting for the trailer. I think I may have shared this shot before!
Friday my whole work team and I skipped work, went to Destiny, headed out and did some crabbing where we caught 31 keepers Dungenous and Red Rock crabs!
Destinys bow and prepping a couple of crab rings
Successfull day catching more Red Rock than Dungenous! 31 total!
The guys from work sure seem happy! LOL!
Saturday my daughter and I took a faimily of 5 for a 3 hour sail again in near perfect conditions! I think they liked us! They tipped 40 bucks!! WOW!
Sunday we took hour neighbors crabbing where e caught 35 keepers Dungenous and red rock crab! Then went to our house, cooked and clean all the crab, and ate as much as we could leave several BAGS of fresh cooked crab to send home with the neighbors!
Two days later even more success with the neighbors!
35 Crabs cooked and ready for cleaning!
Piled high!!!!
Cracked Crab anyone??
Our neighbors after stuffing themselves with crab!
Please note:
My wife buys thin plastic kind of like painter plastic! She then covers the table cloth with it and sets the table on top of the plastic. When eating the crab, we simply toss the shells on the table next to our plates! THAT is why you see a very messy table after eating! When done we clean the dishes off, and simply pick up all 4 corners of the plastic and toss the whole thing!
All this in record setting heat here in the Puget Sound area!
Pictures will follow . . . . . .

You gotta let me in on your crabbing technique!! We tried crabbing when bareboating out of Vancouver last Sept. but only managed 1 red rock for 5 hungry sailors ! ! !
Good weekend here also - 3 days of wind and sun!! Saw 6.2knots on the GPS running with a reefed main on Saturday, ye-haw!!

Amen to that, we deffinatly avoid the crabs on the Great Lakes!Chrysler20%26 wrote:Cool crabbing on a sailboat, what a week of fun for all. Hear on the Great Lakes we try to avoid having crabs on boats. Great post, photos an how to crab fish welcome.
I did get to do some scuba off the Andante two weeks back. Amazing to see first hand what the Gobies and Sheephead are doing to the bottom. I have fishing poles on the boat, but the wind has been so good that they have nary got wet, save when at the mooring.

That amount of crabs would cost dearly down in my neck of the woods. Did I spy a new forward hatch on your Chrysler by chance? I wounder if such could be found for the C26, not that I dislike the old hatch... just perhaps another future project.
