    Thanks for your report and for including that wonderful Dungeness crab measurement! As a reminder for future Molt Searches, including an object for scale (like calipers or an upside-down credit card) in your photo helps us make the most of your reports and keep our data quality high. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the day on the beach. Great to have you part of the Molt Search community!
