It's been a hectic few days around here.. preparing for Hurricane.. no, TS... maybe hurricane? Nope, still TS Hanna.. it's kept me pretty busy. And just when I get the last couple of jugs of water frozen, the last pieces of loose outside trim secured, the last bit of anything loose around my house cleared out.. Hanna's going to miss us. Meh. At least it's done in time for Ike. Hopefully that one will miss us, too, because it's looking NASTY. Fingers crossed.Went out crabbing with a friend last week, for the first time! Absolutely wonderful time.. we took his two daughters for their first crabbing trip, and watching those two little girls learn about these Carolina blue crabs was almost as much fun as learning to crab! We put the boat in the water in a small town called Rockville, near Seabrook Island. had an amazing day, and caught a couple dozen heavy, beautiful blue crabs for dinner.
Later that weekend we put the boat in the water and crossed the harbor so I could take a few photos (well, really so we could have a chilled adult beverage at Red's on Shem Creek). Honestly, we barely made it there. It was a beautiful day, but Hanna had sent 3-4 foot swells into the Charleston Harbor, and they kicked the shit out of us. We pulled up to Red's looking like a couple of drowned cats. I damn near sprained my knee trying to stay on my feet in the boat! The moral of the story is: PAY ATTENTION when you hear about a small craft advisory!!
