Crab


It's been ages since I've seen one of these crabs. It's called a seven-eleven crab. Landon went diving for tako after work yesterday at Makapuu and saw it in about five feet of water.

Mich, he threw it in a pot of boiling water as soon as he got home. He said that it was sweet.

jalna said...

Hahahahaha, Les . . . especially since I'm the one holding it, yah! It took me awhile to grab it because it was still moving!

Wow....nice catch. Haven't seen a 7-11 in ages too. That's a good sign, that area is still healthy.

Hey Aunty, I can tell your arm is getting better 'cause you using Caps.

Aiyaiyai, CQ . . . totally didn't think about taking those pictures.

Chet, I thought the same thing too . . . good sign!

Not too brave, Izsmom . . . took me awhile to grab it.
