Morning 4:30 am , usually I don’t drive around at this time. But today morning it was so hot and last nights dinner is making it more quarrelsome to lay down. At last I have decided to have a drive around the town and maybe get some hot coffee from Macca.

Just as I started to drive around a thought came into my mind, why can’t I drive to the beach and sleep in the car. It sounds like something I would enjoy, without losing much time I made my way into the beach.

It was 5:00 am by the time I reached the beach shore. It was pretty dark but not so far from the shore I could see some lights flashing , a peculiar kind of lights not one but few more moving randomly across the water. First I was a bit confused as so what was it.

I decided to move closer to the shore and then it became clear it was a low tide time and people have started to walk into the knee deep mud and search for crabs yes crab hunting. Such a pleasant climate and time to do .

I was a bit afraid to go in knee deep water to find crabs so i just stayed back on the shore before long. Few people started coming back to show me their catch. By this time sun has started to climb back . Altogether it was a pleasant day to see the crab hunters myself and maybe try it next time.
