oyster bar

oysters are making a come-back in the bay-i have seen their resurrection myself- so learn about oysters today and consider becoming an oyster farmer this summer.

chesapeake bay oysters on the rebound?

a recent article in the new york times revealed that oysters in the chesapeake bay are coming back! the virginia institute of marine science in partnership with the army corp of engineers created large experimental reefs at the mouth of the great wicomico river five years ago. today, these areas are home to more than 180 million native oysters! i am surprised these beds are doing so well, considering how polluted that river is, but this is great. a few weekends ago we drove the pro-line down there to get some crabs at cockrell's creek and saw all of markers designating these new beds: kind of difficult navigating the entrance to the river from the bay. worth it!

tiffany yachts

took a paddle on the great wicomico today...such a beautiful body of water with unbelievable boathouses (although, completely polluted with pcb's: do not eat the fish out of this river!} stumbled upon an amazing farm with a great piece of land, gorgeous house with awesome boathouse and three unbelievable tiffany boats: two skiffs, and one deadrise. tiffany yachts was probably 4 miles down the river from this place: wish i had my iPhone out of the hatch to snap some photos! above is a 16' tiffany skiff for sale via yachtworld.com that really isnt any where near as nice as the two i saw, but sort of represents the design aesthetic of tiffany yachts. tiffany no longer offers the skiff anymore, but i am sure they would do it custom. this is american craftsmanship at its best!
