Here’s a few pics I took at the short-notice oyster roast here on Shem Creek at Mark’s Sea Island Boat Builders yesterday; they’re even equipped with their own guardian pet pelican, minus the 6′ tall version of course.

I had to leave early to run out to John’s Island, so no telling how many people showed up, but I’m sure they all had great time, especially with the awesome oyster eating weather we had yesterday afternoon.

For generations the Philippe family has relied on these lands and waters for fish, shrimp, crabs, and oysters. Now they don’t know what they’re going to do.

Sound familiar?
