Feb 22-23 A working oyster town

It was foggy in the morning and we could not leave the dock at White City till late morning.  Still, we got underway and made a short trip to Apalachicola, a real old Florida working town that feature oysters.  The first pic shows a large processing cylinder where they roll the oysters to clean them.  The next pic shows a typical structure where oysters are processed.  The final pic shows the oyster boats and oystermen harvesting in Apalachie Bay.   The town of Apalachicola also boasts a theatre, gift shops, good restaurants and other attractions for tourists.  But, we were off for Carrabelle the next day to get ready for the treacherous crossing of the Gulf.
