Hanging out with a bunch of crabs in Kenya

I was lying in the sea fully clothed as the sun was beating down whilst taking most of these shots. The camera was exposed to the ocean spray caused by a fierce wind, and there was plenty of sand blowing around too. At one point I was completely submerged by a big wave, apart from a raised arm holding a scared camera.
Note to self: get insurance next time.

; - >

I hope u all chuckle as much as I did whilst making this

Feeling Crabby ?... This'll cheer u up.

< am adding more crabs from Sweden... they're bigger and meaner ! >

I just got back to Canada from Mombasa and love your shots of these crabs that I also spent a lot of time watching. They are amazing creatures. I would like to wirte a short story about them, and am looking for the name of the reddish crab that is transarent when it is still young. Do you have any idea what this is? Thanks heaps.
