American River provided not only very cheap accommodation (free) but also an opportunity to meet some very interesting locals. The crew's camp site was located on the shores of Pelican Lagoon, home to the islands oyster farmers. Early one morning while the skipper was walking the two hounds out of character he struck up a conversation with a gentleman at the pier. The bloke happened to be one of the local oyster farmers. He was generous enough to offer the captain not only a tour of his operations but also sample of his fine produce and a quick lesson on how to shuck them.
