Day 18: Low Tide

Today was another 'take it easy' kind of day. The wifi was still out from yesterday so I used my phone as a hotspot to catch up on blog posts and a few lectures. During the afternoon I walked beyond the dock to the sands revealed by low tide. 

Looking back toward Bananas Bungalows
During low tide, dozens of crab colonies, each with a thousand or so crabs, make their way onto the sands to feed (I presume). It's mildly amusing watching an entire army of them scatter away as you make your way out towards the sea. If they can't outrun you then they bury themselves in the sand and hope you are feeling merciful.

This crab, one of the larger ones, was about 2 inches across
