Gathering

We've been home 10 days, so it was time to get back into our gathering mode.

This morning, we caught the early low tide to gather varnish clams and cockles.  The limit of varnish clams is 72 per person, and we came home with about 130.  Not bad for our first serious dig for varnish clams.


We also brought home some cockles (the dark grey bivalves below).  We have kept both the clams and the cockles in chilled seawater all day, to encourage them to flush out any sand in their guts.


Then later in the day, I headed out looking for mushrooms, and came home with 5 ounces of chanterelles, my first of the season.
