This is the 3rd time I've been crabbing with Capt Michael Deener and somehow we manage to run into new problems each time. Today the engine died after we had set out all the traps. Fortunately Gene Gene the crabbing machine was tall enough to pull us to all 20 traps so we could retrieve them. He also pulled us down river to (fortunately) a close boat ramp on the opposite side of the river from where we started. Some folks who had just put in took our Capt back to the truck so luckily we got out without having to pay to be towed or worse, having to call the coast guard. Evidently that costs money. We had a nice expensive crab cake at a local restaurant and made our way home. Even with our failure it was a good day laughing with my buds.
