After our return home from our St. Louis trip, we hurriedly prepared our crab pots and repainted our buoys, this time in neon pink to better spot among the many other buoys, and loaded them on the boat to set them out in the sound.
This is Zuzu and Tootie's second crab season. This time around, they seemed more comfortable with the process.
So much so that Tootie decided to perch on top of the traps as we motored out to set the traps. Was she seeking a better vantage point to see above the gunnels or was she claiming the traps as her own? No, she was most likely upset that the traps were on her blanket, of which Zuzu found a corner for her comfort.
Hungarian bird hunting dogs? Really? They seem to be more of the red salty dog variety to me.
Finally, our blanket! After the traps were set, Zuzu and Tootie are happy to have their soft blanket back. Now it's time to exercise the boat before returning to the dock.
Leaving our pink buoys bobbing in the waters of Sugarloaf Sound, we set off for a quick run to Tarpon Creek. We'll be back out next week, along with first mates Zuzu and Tootie, to pull them, hopefully full of tasty claws.
Are you done with blogging? I enjoyed your family adventures!
ReplyDeleteI've been careless in keeping up with posting, especially during the holidays. I hope to pick up the pace and continue documenting Zuzu and Tootie's life in the Keys with more frequency. Thank you for reading!
