CrabFest 2007!!!!

The pinchyest catch!

We made our way to the Oregon coast in search of the elusive Dungy Crab.

This is where we stayed in Bandon Oregon with a beautiful view of the vast Pacific Ocean.

You can click on the picture for a view from our room.

Wait! That is not a Dungy! 

Hmmmm.....  They do say everything taste better on a Ritz.

The basket!

The bait!

The payoff!!! 

Oh what a daughter in law has to endure.

Sailing birds and boards.....

Tried our luck in Brookings... 

If it weren't for bad luck we'd had no luck at all....

A basket of crabs......

But not a big enuff one to keep......

Jimena learned very quickly how to pick a crab up without getting pinched....

It was a bit of a painful learning curve.

Waiting for a little dinner?

Bait stealin bastids!  But they are cute little devils.

Gasthering mussels for dinner.....

With a little swim just for fun.....  BRRRRR.........

Maybe we should make sure science teachers have reading skills too?

A sad little fisherman sitting all alone.....

It's off for a walk on the beach.....

Trail rides on the beach looked kinda fun....
