Swany Reunion- The docks














One of the favorite things to do while in Bandon was to go crabbing.  The kids loved to go down to the docks, watch and help.  All of the kids became experts on how to measure the crabs to see if they were big enough to keep and how to tell if they were boys or girl crabs (you can only keep the boys).  They were also brave enough to pick them up and throw back the crabs that were too small.






 

We also met one of the local residents there, George the Pelican. He would sit at the docks and walk around. I don't think I have ever seen a pelican in real life, they are big animals!  Everybody loved George and the kids are still talking about George and his friends.
