Windy Wednesday

We started our day out paying a visit to our hermit crabs at low tide. The wind was still high, but it was unable to whip up the wet sand. It’s interesting that the kids can find some of the same crabs – identifiable by their unique shells. With the tides sweeping up and back so much, I expected them to be scattered more. But they are always more or less where the kids left them.



We braved the gusting winds at high tide once again. It was tolerable in or near the surf. The further away from the water, the more likely we would get stung by the sand. The girls stayed deep and the boys did some body surfing.

After dinner the girls went crabbing while the boys played in the wet sand. We stayed near the pier again in order to be protected from the blowing sand.


The girls were quite successful in obtaining some fair sized crabs.

The little ones they caught on their own, but the bigger ones were declawed and presented to them by a fisherman. They told me about some that were even bigger near the end of the pier. They were quite proud of their acquisition.
