RE: Escaping to the Eastern Shore of Virginia

That is a beautiful life style am proud of you and would have been hard work getting to that life style well deserved, I presume. I really enjoyed that journey with you so peaceful and beautiful exactly what, I love doing and those Blue Crabs, I have never eaten so many crabs since living in Thailand so cheap if I were in Australia, I would have to save up for one month before, I could eat one blue crab :)

Sort:  

Well, I admit that I took advantage of the crashing housing market a few times. I bought my first house in my 20's with minimum money down, but, bought the cheapest house in the best neighborhood that I could afford and put sweat equity in it. (my dad and brothers did magic with it) The market went up and less than two years later, sold for a great profit, and the rest is history.

Just so you know. Patience and timing.

It is peaceful out there, one of the reasons I love it. Because it is easy to catch crabs, we throw our own traps in or a line and bait it. We use chicken wings or necks and sometimes fish scraps if we are fishing... it is all part of the day. :) Then you can take your catch home and feast on them! Cheap and easy! And it doesn't take long. They are people pleasers. Throw them some bait and they will come.

Because of its location, there are plenty of people that work the water for a living also. Farming and Fishing. Thanks for stopping by!

Sometimes it all comes down to the right timing and location well done, I had the same opportunity in Australia when the market dropped and now own a beautiful one bedroom apartment close to the city and has doubled in price :)

You seem to have this crab fishing down to a pattern enjoy eating them, I certainly do here in Thailand amongst many other cheap yummy seafood :)

Isnt that great?? Its true! Most everything bought in that market has more than doubled.

I'm always grateful I took the plunge. :))

Always the right plunge to make hardly even goes wrong :)
