Beautiful night on the beach. It was a veteran's game last night, but I'm a better digger today than I was yesterday because of it, and I really enjoyed the challenge. Had I been alone, I would have given up early. Thankfully, the Doc knows the pounding game well, so we ended up successful (although I think we spent over two hours getting there).

Another shout out to fp's clam tube design; without that tube, we agreed we wouldn't have been very successful, and I think an old school tube would have killed my back. Having dug clams like the pros do it (and having had a chance to compare it to the way I had been doing it), I think I'll be more successful, more often in the future.

Looking forward to frying some up later today.
