Was the voyage to Blue Crab Run successful? Because?

The voyage to Blue Crab Run was completely successful. They came home with loads of salt, as well as buckets and wash-tubs filled with crabs.

At five that evening the Fort Repose fleet sighted Randy's house. There was no doubt that it had been a triumphant voyage. The five boats were deep with salt, the thirteen men were filled with boiled crabs, lavishly seasoned, so they were all stronger and felt better, and in every boat there were buckets and washtubs filled with live crabs.
