crabbing

We were suppose to leave WA on the 10th of August but we realized that crab season started o n weds the 12th. Jon has been mad that everytime we go up there we have been out of season. Growing up in the pacific northwest I had put a few crab pots in the bay and had told him about all the crab feasts I had gone to. He was a little jealous and really wanted to do it. He loves the show "deadliest catch" but crabbing in a little boat in Birch Bay is like a kiddie ride at Disneyland copared to that show. He had so much fun!
