Two Exports

A good, fast boat will cover a lot of ground in a day’s time.


While we were looking for good places to snorkel, we visited two very interesting places.
They were “Oyster” and “Vanilla” farms.
Except for these two crops, most things on these islands are imported.

It takes a long time to harvest both of these items,
but they are well worth the effort it takes for success.
They can be a nice “side line” for making ends meet.

And they are some of the BEST in the world.

A nice 11 mm “black pearl” can cost $1000, and although I don’t know the price of vanilla,
I know it’s hard to find the good “pure” stuff.
