Yeah, 9 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000 So I got my boys here with me.

We 13 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.560 did the whole freaking west Icelip routine. And then afterward 14 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.120 we hooked up at the Old battle On Yacht Club, which, folks, 15 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.200 that sounds a lot, that sounds a lot glitzier than 16 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.480 this place actually is. It's basically an old house with 17 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.599 some bulkheading on the Great South Bay. But uh Ziggy 18 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.879 joined us, and Eddie Mackie joined us, and so we 19 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.799 hung out, had dinner there, told old stories and and 20 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.079 had had a bunch of fun, and my boys got 21 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.120 a great feel for what actually was like growing up 22 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.359 there and having the summers there. But my first report 23 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.159 is the bay is back. 24 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:34.640 Boys. 25 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:39.159 I know. I saw the clams you got in one hour, less. 26 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.760 Than an hour, beautiful little next the coloring. You know 27 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.000 how you know when a clam is clam? When you did, 28 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.560 I mean that perfect color, some seeds, lots of necks, 29 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:55.280 some uh, some cherries, but not too many chowder clams. 30 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:56.200 It weren't that many that. 31 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.000 We had to throw back. 32 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.760 And we were just on the other side of the 33 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.000 West Ticeo Bridge and about waste deep water. In fact, uh, 34 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.040 my son in law had never dug a clam in 35 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.919 his life and he was the first one in the water. 36 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.719 So he gets him before I even get in. He's 37 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.719 never dug a clam before. And he's like, Dad, what 38 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.080 do I do?

I'm like, okay, I think there are 47 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.520 clams here.
