Stuff's Happening !

Three screaming kids, Jas barking, the front door flung open and there stood an overwhelmed FedEx delivery man just trying to do his job. "The traps are here! The traps are here!" He stopped his deliveries just long enough to let us take a picture.  Nice guy!

The first ten traps have arrived.  Each box contains enough parts to build five traps.  Now, to get them put together. This evening, I picked up 1000' of #10 trap line, the smallest crabbing gloves I could find, bullets buoys, and a pair of crab tongs.

Let the assembling, and stringing, and tying, and marking, and rigging begin!!!

Sarah went to the SCDNR to pick up her packet of tags, stickers, and (her favorite) waterproof data sheets.  Jason Powers (right) and Geret  Lennon (left) were gracious as always, officially handing over the project.  Note: The binder has all the kids names on the cover and it contains Sarah's precious waterproof data paper.

As an extra big thrill for a small girl, she asked and was given permission to park in the STAFF parking area.

While we were there, I went ahead and registered as a commercial fisherman again. That will allow us  to sell our catch to help in recovering some of the costs and expenses.

So, we're ready and we're legal.
