Official Crabfest 2015 Report

Thanks for the video Dan!

I tried to embed it but couldn't figure out how. I saw Howard did it, but he's a lot wiser than I.

Once upload to YouTube was complete, I just copied the provided link and pasted it in the message.

Victor, Narisa, Ari & Dan,  Not forgetting all the sponsors!  Thank you

Thank you guys for all the time & work it takes to put this event together.  We all have such a great time seeing everyone, the food and getting back into setting up camp after being home for a few weeks, lets me know how out of shape I am.

Get pictures and videos.  Thanks to all for sharing.

Can't wait the see the wonderful artwork for next years zip up hoodies.  I've got me fingers crossed.

Looking forward to next year.

Awesome event as usual Victor, too bad about the wind. Looking forward to next year.

Hey everyone, finally, a chance to sit down and say thanks to a bunch of you.   One should really plan an extra “free” day when returning from a trip before you have to go back to work.  I can't help it though, always want to squeeze in every last minute.
 
What started out more than a little rough turned out to be a great weekend. This was my family’s first trip to an organized event like this and I have to say I didn’t meet a single person that wasn’t incredibly friendly and helpful.  From those that talked with me on the beach and answering all my newbie questions to those that made me feel like I was at Grandma’s house when I was a kid (Feeding me till I was about to pop).  Sometimes, a newcomer can feel like a bit of an outsider. Not so with this group. There was no shortage of hospitality. You were all awesome.

Victor, awesome thing you are doing here.  All your hard work for a noble cause is very much appreciated.  Dan,  I am so glad that I made my way to your shop three years ago. My son and I love the tuna. It has brought us many good memories and will bring many more I’m sure.  Not to mention the 3 girls to follow.  Ben (BMB), thanks again for the offer to let me test your slayer.  I would say it worked out pretty well in the end though.   Had I borrowed your boat, I’m not sure how I would have gotten all three back. And to think, I was happy as could be after winning the crab ring AND the live bait tube!!!  SCORE!!!

To all the sponsors that made this event possible,  Eddyline, Promar, Lowrance, Kokatat, Yakattack, Headwaters, hoo-rag and Kala, thank you for contributing so generously.  To everyone that cooked for the potluck….WOW, WHAT A FEAST!!!

I am already counting the days to Crabfest 2016. Heck, maybe next year I will be able to actually catch a crab or at least get my boat wet.  Speaking of which, we may head back to that area for the president’s day 3 day weekend. I have to at least get out once! Anyone think they might be there? (I think it’s Feb 14,15,16.)

I will post some pics of the boat as I add goodies. See you OTW.

God Bless all and stay safe.

Awesome job once more Victor and Narisa on putting the Crabfest together. Thanks Dan and Headwaters for supporting this great event. Thanks also for all the sponsor for their generous contribution each year. We had a wonderful time.

I'm wondering if there is going to be any crab there.  I still have a whole bunch of bait I need to get out of my freezer before my wife says something. I'm hoping to do some more crabbing if I can find some crabs. 

Did I say it was warm? Breeze picked up in the evening, increasing wind chill factor. Wayward uke player. Olivia demonstrating how to properly roast marshmallows.

Evening feast. A bit of photo bombing. Expecting a visit from the tooth fairy.

Food coma or booze coma, Eric? 'Robin Hood' showing off his gear.

Sunday morning. Sunny but wind and waves were up. Still chilly. Sammy the pug makes his entrance.
