They are really prolific this year. However they are very cute so we don’t mind.
The feeders all say Squirrel Proof… NOT chipmunk proof

OOPS…
I wish I could have taken this 20 minutes sooner when the boat was 45 degrees sideways. He is not the first sailboat to not read the tide charts correctly and get beached. It was a BIG sailboat. If you zoom in you’ll see him at the left/back inspecting the boat. He did get released about 5 hours later and moved to deeper water.
The mountains and buildings in the far background are actually Vancouver Island, across the straight.
You’d be crabby too if they threw YOU in boiling water.
The beginning of crabbing season has started
Paddle Board Crabbing..
I’ve nicknamed my neighbor “Zena Warrior Princess” for everything that she does on her paddle board. She crabs, paddles across the entire bay in 2ft swells in the winter, and often is out with her cute pug on the front (I’ll capture that soon!)

I was walking out my backdoor when I saw the light hitting these. Yet another race to my photoshop to grab a camera before the light changed.
CRABS, CRABS, and more CRABS!
1st–Row out set the pots/ wait at least 4 hrs and go back and get them. Sort out the females and throw them back into the water.
2nd–Get the cooker going, have ice bucket ready. Make sure you have tongs and a big glove. These guys PINCH–HARD!
Third–you have to clean them… Now you have to pull their “lids” off and take out the guts (on the right). Now you have the crab you can crack and eat (on the left)
This little spot will do..
This river otter (they live in salt water too) barely made it onto my dock before he went to sleep. I guess he was tired!
