..."Of course, on a boat full of scientists and engineers, not everyone was susceptible to such outlandish crab-based speculation.
I posed the prevailing crustacean-centered theory to Kocynski: “There’s a theory going around that the loss of your hood is crab-related, that it may have been an orchestrated effort by the crabs.”
“Nah,” he said.
He paused, shaking his head dismissively.
“It had to be the seal. Crabs are good – but they don’t have any strength. The seal, now, is a clever animal,” he replied.
But for Chadwick, all the proof he needed was at his instrument sites scattered underwater on the volcano.
“At the last benchmark, there was a crab waiting for us there…taunting us,” he said.
And listen all y’all: For this reporter’s money — it’s crabotage."
