The location in FM29 was on Delaware Bay looking in the direction of Moonrise at the Atlantic Ocean.

This area is well known for it's Blue Crabs.  There were many people catching Blue Crabs off a pier next to where I was set up.  The bucket below includes a Blue Crab that was just caught.

I had lunch at a local restaurant.  This is what the Blue Crabs look like in the restaurant.

This time exposure shows a problem I had when I left the activation site.  The road to the beach floods when there are high tides in the Delaware Bay.  I had to wait 2 hours for the tide to go down before I could pass this place in the road.  Halfway between me and the headlights in the distance there is about one meter of salt water on the road.  High tides happen with the Full Moon!
