Once done, he sets up a metal rack to grill some of the fish over
P2nya's fire. then seals the rest up for them which Fred tucks
into various backpacks with provided ice bags.

The First Mate, having finished typing up the boat and tidying it up,
comes down and sells some of his catch for cash and packs the rest for
home for dinner. It's mostly shrimp that he takes home, selling the
Big Eyed Scad and Goat Eyed Scad. As he comes up the the little beach
fire, he smiles and thanks them again for very nice tip!

Then he looks about and sees what he was looking for: A patch of beach
that leaves tiny bubbles as the waves go out. He takes a small shovel
and fills a bucket quickly with various live clams, then rinses them
and some fresh seaweed free of sand and packs the wet seaweed under
and over the clams and adds a lid. Placing it to the sides of the
fish, he sets them to steam open.

The Captain comes back and passes some of the cash from the fish sale
to the First mate then joins in, congratulating Fred on his EXCELLENT
catch! Then passes him his larger catch professionally cleaned and
commercially sealed to take home. He deftly pithes a crab (killing it
instantly) and adds it to the grill.

As the pot starts to steam and the other fish are ready, The Captain
brings out some disposable dishes and sets out water, milk, and
various things and they all start munching.

The first mate and Captain of the Boat finish up and pack to leave.
They set a bucket of seawater to the side with instructions to fully
put out the coals before they go. Included in the price of the boat
was morning cleanup of the beach once the last fire is out and safe.

They tip their hats to P2nya and wave to the guys then head home.
