We woke up this morning to light-to-NO winds and flat calm water here in the harbor. We felt like idiots, knowing that we'd expected a storm, so decided to stay here today. Shoot. Already paid for the moorage, so doesn't make sense to leave. Oh, well, we like it here. It's fine. So Bob went out to pick up the prawn trap and the crab trap....a few more BIG prawns (shrimp on the Barbie, for sure) and some HUGE crab. We kept 3 and threw the rest back.....when you get all 8-inchers, why keep the little old 7-inch crabs???
It just turned 11:00am and THERE'S the wind! We're sitting right behind the log breakwater, watching the white caps inside the harbor - it's nuts out there. Now, we're feeling very smart and smug. Especially when we know it's crab cakes for lunch. :)
We're hoping it blows itself out tonight, so we can leave for Shearwater tomorrow. It'll be about a 5-hour run, and the first 2 hours will be in Fitzhugh Sound, so we'll need to expect some nasty wave action after all this wind today......
Stay tuned........(In the meantime, it was crab melts yesterday, crab omelets for breakfast today and crab cakes coming up for lunch. All crab, all the time.)
