We went on a boat ride in Newport, Oregon and we caught 6 crabs! Charlene was not too sure about holding a live crab as their claws and legs are still moving!!I thought this was a beautiful bridge in Newport!!As we were working our way out to the Pacific Ocean, this powerful Coast Guard boat zoomed past us. Their wake was fun to ride!!I loved all the arches in the bridge! It was cool and windy on the boat, so we were all bundled up to stay warm!Charlene is pointing to a tiny jellyfish we found when the boat simply running a net type filter from the back of the boat. A woman on the boat named him “Grape,” short for grape jelly!!As we rode along in our boat, I was amazed and the dense green trees along the way. Beautiful and rugged!These were the crabs that we caught!! On the ride out, we left two crab traps. On the way back, we picked up the traps and found all these different types of crabs. It was quite amazing to see them move around and maneuver on the table in the boat!!
This gentleman told everyone how to safely hold the live crabs. Charlene was not too comfortable with this experience!!It was amazing to catch live crabs!!These flags on our boat were whipping around vigorously with the moving boat and windy day!!After the crabs were caught, we had 8 hours before they needed to be thrown back into the water. The two biggest male crabs were kept.These male sea lions were LOUD!! We could hear them barking from quite a long way away!!People were gathered on this bridge to watch a group of noisy male sea lions!!We later went to an aquarium and were amazed at the size of the megalodon shark!!
