RACING: Illustration Friday

Hermit crab racing on Guana Key has become a family tradition. On Christmas Day, we don snorkels and swim to the island. We are greeted by charming, curly-tailed iguanas and hermit crabs. We crack open coconuts and feed them before selecting crabs to race. Each racer places his or her crab in the center of two concentric rings drawn in the sand. The first crab to cross the outermost ring is the winner. Scroll down for photos from last year's race.
