Has anyone here been to the Marshalls?

[Alice]

Hey folks;

I have an opportunity for a long term stay and I'm looking for a little first-hand info.

Thanks!

Wow! I saw a presentation by Rod Bourke at MACNA about what it's like to live in the Marshall's and work at a clam farm.

Maybe you can get in touch w/ him?

Cheers
James

Thanks James! Any idea where I can find Rod's address? His info would be right up my alley....if I can convince Hubby to go or that he could live without me for awhile

I'll be working for a marine ornamentals exporter.

Thanks for the tip James; I was able to find the website for their clam/mariculture farm.

Hi Alice,

Sounds like fun!!

What are you going to do there? What are you going to do for them?

My friend Bill is in Fiji doing just what you describe.

Cheers
James

I'm still at the "keeping my fingers crossed" stage but I'm trying to get all the facts just in case. I'd be supervising a crew of divers/collectors and packers and handling the shipping of primarily live rock, fish and some corals. And playing in the reef out my front door and the lagoon out the back; the island's pretty narrow, lol.

In other words, about the same thing you do at home.

Alice, will you be working with Mary on this, I thought I read recently where she is opening up an operation there.

LOL Jerel; you know it!

Steve; no, I hadn't heard that Mary was expanding over there, if so, good for her

I'd be working for a small company that's well established, if all goes well.
