 20230422 Saturday, April 22, 2023 Copalis Beach Clamming Day 2

The later low tides made for a quick and relatively easy two limits of 40 clams in under 30 minutes.  The beach is noticeably more crowded on the weekend, but there seems to be plenty of razor clams left for the picking.  Our procedures for processing our catch has been getting more efficient with each day of additional experience, and our RV’s freezer is filling up with razor clams rapidly.  

We had to have the last of the Birdseye pasta with garlic chicken for lunch to make room in the freezer for incoming clams.  

We have taken a few mini showers during this trip, but now that our grey tank is at 2/3, and the septic system at the RV park shut down, we are taking measures to limit grey water production, including dumping some grey water into the black tank and Janet took a shower at the RV park’s shower facilities, which are extremely “rustic”.  But Janet reported that hot water was plentiful and the shower stall is very roomy compared to our tiny RV shower.  

We had decent weather while digging for clams with spotty drizzles, but as the day progressed, the rains built and became quite regular.  The rains didn’t seem to discourage more RV’s from arriving during the day.  The park is probably at 85% capacity despite the rain.

Tomorrow’s low tide is at 9:30am and is at -0.8’.  We’ll be headed back up to Mocrocks beach for that clam dig, and expect it to wet again, but we are confident of finding our limits before heading home tomorrow afternoon.
