Crabbing

In Newport, we spent a little time crabbing. It was pretty interesting and exciting. We just watched mostly as Alan, Dad, David, and the boys pulled up the nets and caught the crabs. There were starfish in the nets a lot of the times and crabs. There were two types of crabs and the good-eating ones had to be a certain size and male before you could keep them. We were right on the dock and other tourists were very interested in what was going on, too.

Cleaning the Crabs - not a real pleasant job
