The Calm Before The Storm
In retrospect, this feels very much like the “calm” before the storm. The water was also in fine form that morning, so they thought it was going to be a smooth one. They then took the boat to a crabbing spot right by the coast. They only needed to sail a couple of miles to get there, which made it more ideal.

Once they reached that spot, they switched off the boat’s engine and remained in the area. They always had great luck when they caught crabs there, so they hoped this day was going to be the same as ever. They put up crab pots and then put them on the ocean floor. Of course, they kept their fingers crossed that crustaceans were crawling all over the place! There was nothing left for them to do but wait.
