A frequent ritual for Adam and Ian is to pull up the old, abandoned lobster trap next to the boat. Ian goes nuts when we find little crabs and star fish. We were really lucky yesterday when we found a baby crab, a baby lobster, and a mama crab holding her baby. When Adam handed Ian the baby crab, Ian chucked it so hard, the poor thing probably did a belly flop. Hey, at least they're free now, right? The traps are placed all over the bay; you know you've found one when you see a bunch of plastic bottles tied in a circle. Adam once ran the boat straight over a trap without noticing. The trap and rope were lodged in the propeller, and he got to take a cold swim with snorkel and fins. Don't let him fool you--he loved it.
Adam's boat is docked next to the Aquidneck Lobster Company, which places a lot of the traps in the bay. E
very time we visit Daddy, Ian runs straight up the ramp to the loading dock, and we go see the lobsters. There are always hundreds of lobsters (sometimes 15 lb. ones), but the other tank has live fish and crabs, too. Two weeks ago they caught a small s
hark and Ian couldn't stop talking about it. "Is da sharka dead?" I even heard him crying the next week in his sleep, "Shark!" I guess kids really remember scary things.
