Living the Dream

I went with Sharon (of Castaway) to the Pearl Farm in Miramar (between San Carlos & Guaymas). Unfortunately we missed the lecture & tour but got to look at the jewelry and shells in the displays. And I learned that there are two different kinds of Mexican Pearl Oyster shells--black lipped (the ones I find all the time) and rainbow lipped. And who knew that if you rubbed your shells with mineral oil, they'd keep shiny & polished looking.

How cool would they be to find on the beach? HA!

Comments

Vessel Name:	CharAnn
Vessel Make/Model:	Newport 41s
Hailing Port:	Newport, NY
Crew:	Jim & Jeannine
About:	We'll be spending our 2nd season cruising the Sea of Cortez. We had a great 1st full NY season from snow to snow! We can't wait to see what's in store for us this winter.
Extra:	Just so everyone is less confused, Jim is Phil & Phil is Jim. Jim is Jim in the boating community and with his family and long-time friends but he's Phil to me and my family and friends in NY. Though the boating community wishes he'd stick with Phil (there's too many Jim's and we haven't met one [...] other Phil yet!) More
