Someone's always watching!


At this point in our epic tale, you should know that I am the Captain of a  silly crew of children. They are always watching, always hanging around, always seeking new heights with 'unusual attitudes'. And, forever making waves in a No Wake Zone!

The SKC's set back in the South Battery section of the Charleston Harbor, and it has continued to prove productive despite a poor showing on our earlier set. There are a lot more females here than there were in Wadmalaw Sound. But we haven't seen the young crab or babies in the harbor. However we did find one that was regenerating a new claw. That is always encouraging.

One interesting find was a stone crab with a spotted or speckled carapace (back shell).  We will send a picture over to Kim Counts ( SCDNR ) and she will provide us with an explanation that we can share.

The kids can get the new boat just as muddy as they did the small one. But I am now far enough away from the action that I rarely get splattered. Surprisingly this boat is far easier to clean. With the 'raw water' wash down hose, the boat is pretty much clean by the time we get back to the landing. 

The boat's clean. The kids are as filthy as ever !!!
