So you were flipping them to save them from the scavengers?I assumed they were pecking at one of the un-flipped crabs.
Do they crawl right off into the water once you flip them?
How do so many end up upside down?

I flip them because the ones still on their backs couldn't get themselves flipped over using their tails and can't get back into the water and will die. Lot's of the crabs have damaged/missing tails or get themselves buried in the sand with their abdominal flap folding up.So you were flipping them to save them from the scavengers?

???My water plant insulators came in the mail yesterday
Thanks for the coffee!Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
I went south along the beach this morning. As I expected, there were lots of stranded crabs. I flipped about 1,000. I didn't even go as far down the beach as I did the first day I got here.
No one has done the north end yet but that end is near the public access so I'm hoping someone works that end.
You can see the tracks in the sand from where I flipped a crab and it made its way down to the water. You can also see where one's got itself buried in the beach.

It took me about 2 hours to do what I did. I find it very relaxing and rewarding and I got some exercise before breakfast.
I literally just glanced up at the bay and saw two dolphins lazily swimming by.
I tried to get a picture of them but obviously that's tough to do. But it's a beautiful day here today.

I think Widget laid it, but not certain of that. For comparison, here it is with my very first egg ever. 17 grams from Little. I blew it out to save it.
