Suicidal Shrimp!


It is shrimp season and when it gets windy we find shrimp (one or two a night) that have jumped into our dinghy! They are pretty good sized shrimp, but not big enough to be prawns. Then when it gets hot they turn pink from being cooked from the sun. We have seen shrimp from April to May here in Biscayne Bay. We have even seen shrimp eating at the growth on our hull. James from the Dinner Key Marina staff told us there are even lobsters in the bay, but we don't want to swim in the brownish water of the bay or eat the lobsters that have been filter feeding in these waters. :p We will wait until we get into cleaner waters and of course the lobsters are not in season in Florida right now so we can't catch them.
