JZ, Tom and Gman getting squared away at the dock |
JJ asks Gerhard, "is this where you breathe on of this thing"? |
Corbin says, "me like boat ride"! |
Capt Charlie gets us moving while JZ and Corbin head for the cabin |
Underway, leaving Thompson's Boat Yard |
 |
Rounding the lighthouse, Blood Point they call it, I think.
|
JJ likes flat water, and had a blast! |
First mate Mike gets ready to splash for a first look at the oyster bed. |
Corbin's breakfast of champions |
Busted - JZ, don't let mom see this pic |
JJ's first oyster find, not a bad pic for a disposable UW camera. |
Capt Charlie and Gerhard empty the bag-o-goodies topside |
Our trusty aqua steed and an ole favorite! |
With a full bag of gems, it is tough swimming back to the boat |
 |
JJ's oysters are steamed for the day. He was diving wet in 50F
water. |

Headin' home with our catch |
After much discussion, we agreed this pic can only be described as ugly
hairy cleavage |
Donna and I made Rockafeller that night |
...and steamers |
aaahhhhhh..... |
Are oysters really a powerful aphrodisiac???
