Crab fishing with Beastworth this afternoon. In the first two hours, and didn’t pull up any crabs, or fish. It wasn’t until we bated the crab traps with squid as opposed to fish that the crabs began to show some interest. In linking crabs to concept art, crabs are conceptual gold. All of the spider crabs that we pulled up had been uniquely accessorized with barnacles, and all sorts growing things that make them look out-and-out grotesque.
While waiting for the simpleminded Pisa tetraodons to bumble into the traps, it was just nice to have my face blasted by the sea air, and watch the sun’s reflection snake over waves.
No, I didn’t have crab for dinner. They were all too small, and besides, I’m not the killing sort. I had turkey burger, rice, and about 15 minutes worth of Return of the King. It’s been ages since I’ve watched one of those movies all the way through without interruption.
