Ok my last video journal of the project (everyone cheers!!) Day 13 final day, using sonar to find crab pots that had lost their floats. Grabbed pot 28, 29, 30 (& a bunch of old wood) More days we'd have more pots out. #crabs #kayak #kayaking #seafood #traps #chesapeakeBay #NNK

yeah the challenge is real. Luckily MD/VA started improving the chesapeake watershed about 15 yrs ago and its had a big impact. I am worried about NOAA though. None of it happens w/o them.
Good Luck in Texas. Nature is resilient if you give it a chance.
yeah I cheated this year, and haven't tested above the waist. I also have float suits. They are going in for a test in March for sure.
