You know, every day, you go to bed, you feel tired, you're wet, exhausted, but you could see the results of your work.
And one of the cool things that people don't know, besides the fact that, you know, oysters clean up the bays and they're good for the environment, is that it's like wine.
There's different flavors to oysters.
You get oyster about 100 yards away, and they can taste completely different just because the nutrients and the algae and the waters that are by them.
So it's almost like the Napa Valley of oysters here.
They give me an opportunity to really introduce that concept to people, you know, just from a small boat.
