When
I realised I was not going be able to get onto Tory Island that day and before
the rest of the group arrived, I went down the Magheroarty Pier to see the
fishermen landing their catch of crabs. The video at the end shows this.
I
have a short video which if it does not appear below,
Hope
you enjoyed seeing the crabs coming on shore.
It is always nice to see the sheer hard work which goes into bringing 'luxury' to us.
ReplyDeleteThat's a hell of a lot of pots to lift. Good to see they are landing the whole crab and not just the claws.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photos.
The video is amazing, especially the coastline, so much space around the houses.
Here in The Netherlands are all close together.
Best regards, Irma
Hello Margaret, great captures of the hard working men. Crabbing is popular here too. I loved the scenery and coastline, lovely video. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeletepretty neat!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good day not to be a crab! Ha! Ha! Enjoy..... great captures of it all.

ReplyDeleteHello Dear Margaret

Nice photos, And potential good eats!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see this load ( catch) of crabs arriving! Reminds me of our Chesapeake trip!
ReplyDeleteThe coastline is gorgeousness Margaret. Enjoyed all the fishing activities also, hard, dangerous and backbreaking work I would imagine. Thank you so much for visiting my blog while I was away. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteCool photos of the dock, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteI love your new banner with the Puffin.
Have a Wonderful Day!
Peace :)
Yum! I love crabs! Wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteLove the colorful scenes of the fishermen at the dock. My Grandfather was a fisherman. It's hard work!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, steamed crabs and drawn butter .... all from their hard. long hours, labor!!
ReplyDeleteThis was a lot of fun to see and watch. We go crabbing in Oregon ourselves, so it is always great fun to watch the professionals at work, having some idea from personal experience of what is involved.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen crabs straight from the ocean before!
ReplyDeletemy mother spent many happy hours catching crabs on a piece of twine with a chicken neck tied on it, she would catch 2 or 3 at a time, scoop them up with a net and dump in the bucket. that night she and daddy would put on the fire outside and get the pot boiling and i would go hide in my room because i could not stand to see them cook, nor would i eat them, and don't to this day. great shots of them and that is a lot of work getting them in for all the crab lovers in the world..
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, this is all so very interesting and you captured great photos. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day and weekend ahead. cm
ReplyDeleteNice catch! I love a good crab cake.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Margaret. You got up close and personal with the fishermen ;-)
