Oyster Farming, Up Close

The sun is strong here. Even though it takes a lot for me to get a sun burn, it still happens here. Matthew on the other hand, it takes about 30 seconds of direct sunlight contact. So, when it comes to taking the motorcycle out for short leisure drives, he prefers to leave in late afternoon when the sun isn't as intense. We decided to just drive west toward the sea. We evetually ended up at an oyster farming spot. Since it was late afternoon, the tide was low, and we could acutally drive on the roads that are normally under the sea. We drove out pretty far from the shore using the road and got an up-close look at what the oyster farmings really look like.

 

While we were looking around, we even saw a few farmers. Some like to be modern and use motor-vehicles to haul their goods, while others like to be more old school/traditional and continue to use ox. You can also see some buildings in the background, that's where the shore and land can be found. All of the sandy area is underwater during the morning and early afternoon.

We stayed and watched the sunset before heading home.
