It's Crab Season in Denham

This morning Doreen (lady friend of our neighbour Brice) headed home to Bunbury. We got up at 5.45 to say goodbye as we’ve enjoyed her company a real lot. It seemed that they didn’t know each other too well but I think they got on pretty well apart from once when the game between Geelong and West Coast Eagles was getting exciting and she started to scream and yell encouragement to the Eagles. He came and sat with us for the last ¼ of the game saying “he couldn’t cope with that sort of carry-on!!!!!”

Crab season has just started here and a few people have been taking their boats over to Monkey Mia (28ks) to catch them. Russell went fishing the other night and discovered plenty of blue swimmer crabs (or blue mannas as the West Australians call them) in Little Lagoon 3ks away. He caught us 7 on Tuesday, so it was fresh crab sandwiches for lunch and some for the freezer. Today we caught 8 and they will be cooked and picked shortly to go into the freezer too. We have extended our stay here until next Monday to catch a few more and maybe have one more trip out in Brice’s big boat.
