Maryland Crabs! In one of the funniest nights to date, my good friend Greg showed up with a big pile of Maryland crabs smothered in Old Bay Seasoning and we banged them on the barbie.
Greg is from Maryland and when he eats one of these things there's shells and seasoning and Pabst Blue Ribbon (beer) flying everywhere, it's more of a dissection than what you or I would know as eating. You will see we are wearing foul weather gear, only partly to do with the occasional rain shower coming through. The good news is that being on a boat, we could just tip buckets of water on the cockpit to get rid of the mess! (and we threw ourselves overboard).
We had sailed over to Shelter Island, to a fav spot, Smith's Cove, and got involved. I cut my finger - a crab injury - and as blood oozed out Greg beamed at me...I think it's a Maryland rite-of-passage.
Hilarious fun, and these photos of Greg will tell the story of a complete aficionado. Today we managed to sail about four miles, and otherwise swam and messed about in the sunshine...the best way of dealing with a hangover yet discovered.
