Girls Night at the Oyster Farm

A couple of weeks ago we had girls night at the oyster farm. Griz and Sharon live on an island about 5 miles from here. They have had an oyster farm for about 25 years there. It gets pretty quiet in the winter so we went to visit. Jonathan's sister Misty, Becky, Ruth and I got a ride out there. We had our own little cabin. The refrigerator is just a box that is attached to the house and you can open a door in the wall and get your food. The outside temp is just right for refrigeration. Griz has a windmill making electricity for the whole place. We wired up an outlet to try to get Sirius radio but no signal.
We hopped in the skiff and headed for the Observatory trail.







This is a pretty wind blown spot looking strait down Clarence Straights. The view here is looking towards town.











Afterwards we headed to the beach and set off fireworks that Sharon hoards in case of visitiors. I was scared a few times. Good show. Of course we had the best oysters, she made them with just spinach and cream baked in the oven, mmmmm. Those are some oysters getting cleaned on the dock.











When we went back to town the next day, this rainbow was right over the oyster farm, where we had just come from.
