AREA WERE STAYING AT VIA GOOGLE EARTH

This is for Randy. He is always trying to track my moves and he does a great job of that. To save him time I found the site that I was able to edit and show the area we're staying in. You will notice that I also show some of the hot spots for crabbing and clamming.

Weather today was a little on the cool side, but did get up to 58 degrees, however it was sunny all day with a slight breeze.

Still seeing fisherman coming in every day with limits of crab. Not sure what their doing with so many crabs? I will need to finish up the crab that was given to me a few days ago, which means a large crab cocktail and maybe a small crab Louie salad. It all sounds good too me.

Now if I can just find someone that would be willing to crack the crab and get the meat out of the shell it would be great. I asked Helen if she would like to learn the fine art of cracking crab. Yep, you guessed her answer. Must be from her knowing me too long.

Hoping to take the boat out tomorrow assuming the weather will remain the same as today. By then I will be ready for some more crab. I would like to take some fresh crab up to her cousin, which lives in Coquille. Of course, if both Helen & I catch our limits that would be 24 crabs, so we would have to spend some time cracking crab. Would like catch enough to freeze and take home with us.

Been trying to figure out how I could use my Seal-O-matic so the shell does not put holes in the plastic wrap. Tried to freeze some last year by this method and found the plastic bags you use for the machine are not heavy duty enough, causing the shell to poke holes in the bags.

I want to do some clamming, but the tide is still to high unless a person wants to get up at 2 am. I think it will improve in a few days where the tide is low at a more reasonable time.
