Crab Pot - March 17

Yesterday morning we did schoolwork. We are doing as much schoolwork as possible so when we go on the boat, that we have rented, we won't have to do any. After lunch dad and I drove over to the river. We put the crab pot in the water where the river meets the ocean. We baited it with chicken (it was easier to use chicken rather than going out at four in the morning to spear an eel) and threw it out into the water.

For dinner we went to a nice restaurant (the best one on the island in our opinion) and while we were there Mom and Dad meet another couple their age. Apparently the other couple had brought a bottle of Camus Special Select 2010, which happens to be my parents favorite wine. They hit it off and it turns out that the husband makes his own wine as a hobby!

This morning we did MORE schoolwork! SOO MUCH SCHOOLWORK IN A ROW! Then at lunch Dad and I went to check our crab pot. It was robbed of its bait and there were no crabs in it! We were very confused until we found that there is a steep slope where we dropped it in and it had turned upside-down. The crabs must have pulled out the bait from the top. This time we baited it with flying fish and made sure it stayed upright when we dropped it back in.

On dad's conference call today one of his business partners said that he is in Moorea staying at the Hilton (which is a hotel five minutes from our house). Dad thought he was kidding until he described the weather for the past couple of days (HORRIBLE!). Neither of them knew that we were all here at the same time! We met up for dinner and went out to the Creperie for dessert. What a amazing coincidence!
