For a copy, write Sea Grant and ask for UNC-SG-WP-87-2. The cost is $3. In coastal North Caro- lina, spring isn't the only thing busting out all over. In late April and May, blue crabs also bust out of their winter shells. And for a few hours after the molt, the blue crab remains in a highly valued softened state. To cash in on the crabs' increased value, many fishermen capture the premolt crabs and hold them until they shed their shells. The crabs can be shed in anything from a floating tray in the sound to an elaborate onshore shed- ding system. And now Sea Grant agent Wayne Wescott has learned that crabs can be shed in well water. The use of well water eliminates water quality prob- lems and the need for waterfront property. To learn more about the well-water shedding system, send for Sea Grant's latest Blueprint, Shedding Soft Crabs in a Closed Well-Water System. The Blueprint describes how to build and set up the system. Ask for Blueprint UNC-SG-BP-88-1. It's free. If you'd like to know more about shedding crabs, everything from iden- tifying peelers to marketing soft crabs, send for Sea Grant's A Guide to Soft Shell Crabbing. Written by Wescott, the 32-page illustrated booket describes harvesting methods, handling proce- dures and shedding systems. For a copy, write Sea Grant. Ask for UNC-SG-84-01. The cost is $3. When it comes to talking about their boats, most people go overboard. But when maintenance is the topic, boaters often fall short. Proper year-round upkeep of boats, motors, trailers and other gear keeps equipment in good working condition and minimizes costly repairs. This time of year, it takes special measures to de-winterize b
