Oystering Under Sail -- photo 7

Over and over. Tack after tack. Mostly it was dead shell that went back over the side. Slowly the piles of oysters grew on deck.

It was backbreaking dirty work. It's also a way of life that's fast disappearing from the earth. I got a better appreciation for what this life is like than I ever could have by being a spectator.
