Beautiful Day - Nice Walk On The Beach - More Crabs - Tues 24th June

Not a lot going on today..so what can we say..?

Oh Yes.! It was a beautiful sunny day so we went to Saltdean Beach.

Our son was a little disappointed at first when we realised it was too cold to go into the water and sunbathe on the beach because he wanted to try his new dinghy he had recently bought.

Andy and myself decided to go for a nice long stroll along the Undercliff Walk and Stephen chose to stay on the beach and go crabbing.

He soon got really excited because he caught 13 crabs..! The fishermen who were fishing near him on the same groining were shocked as they weren't even getting nibbles.! They said to Stephen that the crabs were to just as well have kept their mouths open. lol

Andy picked up a couple from the bucket and although they were small they were very aggressive and pinching his fingers...they gave it a good go.!

It was funny watching them scuttling their way back into the sea when we released them. The tide was coming in and dragging some of them into the sea. Maybe that is one of the reasons they have hard shells. They seem to get tossed and bashed about in the sea quite a bit.
