Looked like they got a pretty good turn out. I got there at 1:30 to enjoy some clams and oysters along with a couple of Thimble Island beers. Had a nice chat with Garth and CTFers Natedog, Murph, Jayfishing, and Bullwinkle. Bullwinkle did a great job shucking clams and oysters for the raw bar. Normal Saline was running the crew on the grill. Congrats to Murph for winning the prize pack donated by Blaine, which included a nice Shimano jacket along with some lures. Natedog also won a couple of prizes and I walked away with a nice new clam rake!

You can easily do 40, or even 65, just need to put the mind and body to it. I didn't sign up yet, but will do the 100 again next year! I have recruited a couple more people too.
