Today we actually woke everyone up to go clamming after Jon realized it was a low tide morning. We needed to hit the beach at the right time. We left the boat in a hurry about 9:00 - Jon, Heather, Dylan, Sienna, Talia & Grandma went. The girls loved looking for the clams - the adults did most of the digging but S & T helped find them & put them in the buckets - we filled 4 large ones! Plus Jon got a bucket of oysters. The girls thought it was a great contest to see whose bucket was the fullest. Once again the clams are hanging in 2 bags off the boat & the oysters are in an underwater home as well.
The plan is to do clam appetizers with french bread tomorrow & oyster apps on Sunday. We'll do that with the raft & then do dinner separately as the little girls eat much earlier than the adults. Also Kippers have guests joining them on the boat tomorrow for a few days.
After lunch, H, D & Sienna went swimming off our boat. Next Lois joined us for a game of Mexican Train. Then Rod, H, D & Sienna took the dinghy over to a little beach in Prideaux Haven where they could swim in even warmer water & there are tide pools to play in. On their way back they picked up our kayaks off the rocks & they're now ready.
I stayed on the boat with Talia who didn't want to go with them. She beat me at 4 games of Go Fish & I gave up after that even though T was loving it.
Every one was tired after all the day's activities so we had a low key evening. The girls ate early & the adults ate later on the flybridge as it was a warm evening.
