Shrimp! Glorious, Magical Shrimp!

Back in May I went on an adventure on the high seas!  Or on Hood Canal.  Whatever.  Don't judge.  There was water and boats and other various things of a marine nature. Turns out that in Washington the laws around shrimping are slightly different than they are in the Gulf.  Each person is limited to 80/day and only allowed to go out about 6 days (ish) a year.  I highly recommend going with a friend that will donate her entire haul to you due to a shellfish allergy.  It's quite convenient.

Out on Hood Canal shrimping, not a bad view.

A passing boat tossed us some jello-shots.  9am jello shots? Yes, please!
