Kim Parker, above, wishes she had two extra pair of hands this time
of year. She and her husband, Jamie, collect soft crabs from 50
shedders they tend on Colington Island. They are fast approaching
mid-May, the peak shedding season when blue crabs lose their old
shells for something a bit larger - and more stylish. A blue crab,
