6th_Europe_Report -- We were quite taken with the resourcefulness of the local oyster farmers. They've come up with the perfect amphibious answer for how to get out to their beds to harvest their crop whether the tides are in or out. Clearly the tires can handle the firm tidal flats, and the boats can use their propellers or hydro-jet propulsion when they're floating in water.  There is a French company here building these versatile critters by the name of "Constructions Maritimes du Vivier Amphibie".
