We are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!

So it's that time of year again :) Brother Monson, gluten for punishment that he is, invited the sisters to come out to his house for sailing. We have fantastic time. We went crabbing and caught about 25 or so...we're amazing it's true :)



Our Catch -





Part of our catch in my sink at home...my roommate Melissa decided that she wanted to cook some of the crab...to say the least our house smelt funny for a while there after.



Now for those of you who don't know how you go crabbing, I'll tell ya. I'm sure there are many ways to do this, however we used the ol' chicken neck method. Brother Monson provided us we several chicken neck's and we tied string around them, making it long enough that they would touch the river floor with a little extra and then we waited...... When the string went tight, we slowly, ever so slowly pulled it up and grabbed the net to catch the crab once it neared the surface. The first few times we didn't get the net under the crab in time, but eventually we got it down to an art.

Stringing the chicken necks
As you can see Jess is the brave one :)





In addition to catching crabs, we sailed, swam and paddle boated, play badminton, read and got sun burnt...





And Freda got to climb a mast to remove the beginnings of a birds nest from the top.



It was a wonderful day :)
