Here I am on the dock, helping the Legend himself load the boat for our final run of the day. As we pulled in the last traps, we were caught in a heavy downpour. As the rain splashed on the surface of the river, the sun came out and caused a rainbow to appear on top of the water. It was beautiful, and almost the perfect ending to the day.
The perfect ending came a few minutes later, once we had arrived back on shore, put some dry clothes on, and started to steam the crabs. They were huge! Somer bravely holds this example - unfortunately the camera angle fails to show how close the crab is to me! The Legend had indeed come through for us.
The girls also got in on the boating action. Here we are flying back to shore. My brother Andrew is piloting the boat.Somer also has a couple good pictures, including a nice close-up of a crab, over on dailyofferings .

Some of our favorite memories with our kids are the times we went crabbing on the Outer Banks, but we caught nothing that big! I hope to see a Somer picture of delectable crab cakes she made from the catch. Grace, John
I've always wondered...do crabs taste as unpleasant as they look?
that's too funny. they do look pretty unpleasant! (nasty, gross, "i can't believe i'm going to eat that", yeah) :) but i'm a huge fan of crabs, especially ones with lots of old bay seasoning! these particular crabs didn't need much though. as dan's brother mark would say, they were "luscious"! :p :)
Kelley's right, these were especially good crabs. So I'd say they taste much better than they look.
Well, maybe someday I'll get up the nerve to try one.
