Thanks Victor, Narisa, Dan .
It was a great time. Some of us never took the kayaks off the racks but is always fun to get together with friends.

Everyone please remember to say thanks to all the sponsors that you can find on facebook.

Another great Crabfest in the books.  Had a great time and meet tons of new people.  The weather could have been better the day of the event, but the 2 days prior were perfect.  Good enough to where I was able to catch a couple small perch on the fly right in front of camp.  Already looking forward to next year.  Might turn it into a week long trip instead of just 4 days.  I love the beach!!

So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

great seeing you Scott excellent pics and nice perch work!!
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Thanks everyone for making Crabfest so fun for our family!
In spite of our little girl's cold(first with a bad cough) she had a blast!
Nights were kinda hard with the little one coughing and sniffing for most of bedtime - all of us in a king bed.
Luckily, we had a pretty cozy hotel nearby.

Of course I brought the yak and crab stuff, but, never even got it wet! :smt044
It was great to visit everyone, and just enjoy the Crabfest vibe.
Ukejam was great, thanks to everyone who joined in to play and sing, it was good to get a small fix of the stuff I like so much!
Not to worry though, as I got shut down early when my daughter informed me that it was time to go to bed! :smt005

I vow to actually launch at next year's Crabfest and stay for the whole event.
Had to bail before things even got started, with a sick Olivia and a cold Ashley prodding me to hit the road and get over to gram and papa's house. Felt pretty bad about leaving the jetty, but duty called...

Congrats to all who launched, lunched, caught crabs, bought crabs and generally had an awesome time!
Big Thanks to Victor et al for a successful event!

See you all next Crabfest! :smt001

At least the wind on Sunday gave us a chance to paddle the harbor and hike to the top. Had always wanted to do it and was well worth the hike.
No pedals, no problem.

Can't thank you enough Victor and Narisa - for again getting the NCKA family all together for another Crab Fest. It's a lot of work to get one of these coordinated, and as usual it was an event no one should have missed! That little Ari is too darn cute! So adorable!

Despite the sudden weather change the morning of CF (it is Bodega, after all)....spirits were high and people were excited. It was really good to visit with Dan and Bill (Headwaters) while they braved the cold and helped sell raffle tickets that morning. By the afternoon, the wind had died down quite a bit and we were rewarded with a huge buffet of food for the potluck! Scott's "custom art" apple pie was the bomb!

I regretfully didn't get to play ukes as planned, but found Tony Saturday night at site #93 and we exchanged ideas about having a uke group meet-up every so often. It would be fun to get some practice in!

The sponsors are fantastic, as always - and give us so many great things to "hope for" while we are holding on tightly to our tickets! I was lucky enough to walk away with a few more supplies for my crabbing arsenal. My hubby was crossing his fingers for the Eddyline  :smt044, but we're even close to having the right set of numbers. Instead we were glad to see it go to such a nice family (I was talking to Grim Reefer on Saturday on the beach - he was talking about what had happened on their way to Bodega! Gadzooks).

Whoo yoooo! Fun, fun weekend!
