Poor Timing

Maine residents can can clam without licenses at state parks. This morning we went down to Reid after Marnie had worked at the bookstore. But my timing was wrong; low tide was past; the flats that used to be productive were under water. I did get 4 keepable clams and threw back lots of babies, so there was some success, but overall it was a bust. To compensate, I ordered oysters to pick up at the farmers' market tomorrow.
