The Calm Before The Storm
One might even call this moment the proverbial “calm” before the storm! Of course, the water had been clear that morning, so this is only a figure of speech. They took the boat to a great crabbing spot off the coast. They sailed for a couple of miles before they got there. It was the perfect place to catch crabs!

When they got to the spot, they then turned off the boat engine and stayed in the area. They already knew that this was the best spot to get crabs, so they were hopeful they would have an awesome catch to bring home with them. They set up the crab pots and threw them out to the ocean floor, hoping there were many crustaceans out there. They just had to wait now.
