Did Someone Say Crabs???

Sunset at Fort Monroe 




My Content Captain!
On Monday morning we left Fort Monroe and headed for an anchorage in Mobjack Bay. We found a beautiful and serene spot just off the Severn River. Yes it was the perfect spot to kayak and Kathrin was ready to explore. So we lowered the green kayak and off she went!

The water looked green and felt warm to the touch. I was exploring near the shore when I noticed a lot of movement. I could not quite make out what was going on so I came as close as I could. (basically till the kayak stopped on the sand) There are billions of them... crabs everywhere!
They started scurrying away as I approached, even stepping all over each other. As they ran into the grass I could hear the sound of their little claws. I continued around the little island (which I now named "Crab Island"), watching the graceful egrets and listening to the many ospreys in the area. Finished off the evening with guess what?.... another beautiful sunset!!!


Exploring...

Woo-hoo!

Crabs...everywhere





Hey Man, Watch Where You're Going!

Evening Calm on the Hook

  1. Beautiful sunset! I thought you were going to say you finished off the evening with a crab dinner.
