Octo-crab.

Wow, it's been quite a while since I last made a blog post ! That's probably not a good thing. I've just been so busy lately ! We had about 5 tests and assignments, all squished into three days last week, but I prefer not to bore you with my school life but rather with something much more eventful that happened this morning !

Well, my dad went out this morning in the kayak to check the crab pots. Basically, the last few days we have been putting "pots" with rotten red emperor carcasses into the ocean, in hope of catching some crabs ! We have actually been really lucky and caught 3 "keeper" crabs in 6 days ! You are only allowed to eat the male crabs and can only keep them if they are within legal guidelines ! But they taste amazing and if you are a seafood lover like me, I would definitely recommend it !

Back to the story, my dad brought back a crab pot and guess what was in it !?! Clue: "It has eight legs." Yes, that's right it was a huge octopus and what was also amazing was that it had eaten the female crab that was stuck in the pot with it ! All that was left of the crab was it's back shell and legs ! How crazy !? My dad had to get it out of the pot and I never knew how strong their suckers really were ! They also make a really loud popping noise as they release their suction ! This again is one of the many interesting sea creatures we have caught in the pots !

Hope you're all enjoying your morning and have a great weekend ! Counting down to Christmas now !
