Shrimpin'

We've been busy with visitors! Kim's family (her mom, step father, 3 younger siblings who are 6 and 7 years old) came to visit. We took out a skiff, had some great meals, and had a sleepover in our living room. It was a lot of fun and was so much fun having kids around.

Yesterday, Paul and Sinkey took Kim and me shrimpin'. They picked us up in town and drove us out to George Inlet. We drove the boat out to the shrimp pots (they let me drive for a while!) We pulled up 3 shrimp pots, each on 400 ft lines. Its a great arm work out! Then we pulled up a few crab pots and kept 4 big ones. Once we had our feast ready to go, we parked at a camp on the beach. The camp is in the rainforest right off the beach and looks like Peter Pan's 'Neverland'... such a cool and magical place. We started a fire, cleaned the crab and shrimp, and boiled them in a large pot. What a feast!
