Iconic Crab Traps

On Monday my brother and I headed for a quick trip out to the coast looking for grand subjects to photograph. For lunch we headed down into the Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg for some delicious fish and chips at Sea Pal. Near the restaurant we spotted colorful stacks of crab traps getting ready to be shipped out. What trip to the coast can be complete without photographing an iconic image of a crab trap? After a great lunch we wandered around the harbor photographing the traps, Sea Lions and some of the fishing boats. Even though the weather was cloudy we had a great trip.

Feeling Crabby

Today the Rotary Club was having its crab sale. They get Dungennes Crab fresh off the boat and then boil it and sell it right on main street in downtown. They told me that last year they sold 2,500 pounds of crab and this year they are planning on a sales of 2,200 pounds. The smaller crabs were selling for 10 bucks apiece and the larger more meaty ones were selling for $12.00. Though I heard them offer a few people two for $20.00. The Rotary Club supports a lot of good local causes so its a win, win situation for everyone except the crabs.

God's love and blessings to all,
