The deal is, you buy raffle tickets before each race, 3 for $5. If your ticket gets drawn, you get to go up and pick a crab. Eight crabs per race.
If your crab wins, you win a percentage of the pot, and second place gets a smaller amount. The first race, I had no crabs. The second race, I had a crab. I cheered on that little bugger with all my heart, but he couldn't pull it off. I suspect some of the other crabs were using steroids. In the third race, I totally fluked out, and had 2 crabs in the race, a quarter of all the crabs in the race. Still, the crabs I had chosen let me down. It was all in good fun though. Fred won the second race and took home $80.I tried numerous times to upload a video of the races, but it doesn't seem to be working.
It's way too hot here. It's a terrible thing to say, but I can't function when the sun is out. If your able to sleep past 8:30am, your very lucky. Lots of lounging in the shade.
Yesterday, Stef sold our van. But it's a good thing. We are ready to go our separate ways. Fabian found a ride to Darwin leaving tomorrow, Stef is going to hitchhike, Romain has a trial shift at a restaurant today, and me, well, I think I'll hang out until after the weekend, then try to find a ride.
"hey crabman!" "hey earl."
