Description

Crab season is about to start in northern California and these boats are loaded with their pots and ready to sail. There were hundreds of pots on every boat I saw, and even a fenced in area with hundreds more waiting to be loaded. Fill em up, guys and thanks!! It took 12 hours, but I made it to Seattle. (Don't ask about the traffic near Portland; it's NOT fun) I sorta got lost, but Tara talked me in, and got me to her house safely--let the party begin!!

Mind your lines as the diesels fire up and the bollards are slipped.

12 hours? were you driving all the way? thats longer than it takes me to get to John'O Groats from where I live. I love to see fishing boats like this, I am always watching the Deadliest Catch on Discovery, the crab fishermen in the Arctic Circle. I always head for the docks whenever I get to the coast. It used to be Grimsby on the East coast and Fleetwood on the West coast but both have geared down a hell of o lot to what they used to do. Superb capture. Bravo!!!!! I hope you girls have a great Thanksgiving, I'm sure it will be fun for the three of you. Happy Thanksgiving to all our American Cousins form the UK.

I just love the thought of fresh crab. Mmmmmmmmm. Sometimes Lance goes out when they're in season here and brings me back a crab. The best part? He cooks and cleans it and brings me a little bag of crab meat!! :) (It's awfully quiet out there ... is everything okay? Do you need another cup of coffee?) LOL!

Beautiful Marilyn! When I was stationed at Paine Field, 8 miles south of Everett (where the Boeing plant now is) we drove several times to Southern California. It is a long haul!
