crabbing on Sunday at Sembawang Beach ~

arul playing in the sea



our belongings hung on the trees after being washed by seawater

our overturned crab basket in the background..

crab nets and such in a mess


It was a late start to the day, and when we reached Sembawang beach, it was super freaking crowded!!!
The whole beach was taken and there was hardly a space left for us to pitch our ground sheet. Anws, it wasn't too hot. And it was high tide!
took 5 mins for us to settle down on a spot, spread the ground sheet, and the wave to wash it completely wet immediately. dint even get to sit on it! =(
afterwards, things went downhill. we took 1 hr to set up 3 crab nets and the crab basket. the waves kept on rising, and it finally made us realise we nid to move away. the trash on the shoreline was being washed up to our knees. yuck.

anws we dint catch any crabs cos shortly after we moved to a new spot and cast our nets, it rained heavily. lolz. i ran for shelter while arul decided to meditate at the shoreline.

after the rain, we decided to pack up and leave. there was no luck with crabs for crab nets 1-3. when arul was pulling crab net 4, there was 2 small crabs inside ^.^
