Basically, it\u2019s an activity where you go out onto the beach at night armed with head-mounted spotlights and miniature harpoons, and scan the area at low-tide for shrimps. Apparently, these fellows can be spotted easily since their eyes turn red at the spotlights.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the season for Shrimping was not in our favor. Specifically, waters were warm, and waves weren\u2019t calm An earlier party had gone out two nights before and returned with exactly one shrimp. We thought we couldn\u2019t fare any worse, so off we went for it on Day 4. Boy, were we proven wrong \u2013 we ended up with zero shrimps! In all, a real disappointment. The Shrimping exercise was all at night so I couldn\u2019t get very many pictures in (I was in a balancing act holding Hannah\u2019s hand,a harpoon, and the E-M5).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"OMD06303-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/OMD06303-flickr.jpg\" alt=\"OMD06303-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shrimper Ang Mo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"OMD06308-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/OMD06308-flickr.jpg\" alt=\"OMD06308-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matt ready to harpoon some shrimps, but he&#8217;s got to find those elusive buggers first!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"OMD06319-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/OMD06319-flickr.jpg\" alt=\"OMD06319-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matt: &#8220;I could have sworn I saw two of those !@#! shrimps!&#8221;<br \/>Ling: &#8220;Really?
