When we pulled up the crab pots there was nothing except some jellyfish.  However, all of the food was gone and one of the cans was actually pried open.  Something down there is very strong.  There is a sailboat, Shaunsea anchored near us.  This afternoon Colleen from the sailboat came over in her dinghy and offered us some crab.  She had more than she could handle.  We gratefully accepted.  Fortunately I had a loaf of fresh baked multigrain bread to give her in exchange.  Apparently they don’t have an oven aboard so she was thrilled.  We have an outdoor propane stove for cooking crab.  It is so handy.  No crab smell and steam inside the boat.  Fred cleaned them and we cooked them right away.  I see crab pasta in our future.  We had a crab omelet for dinner.
