Why do you say that? It was indeed a geoduck.

Just based on the picture unless I’m seeing things wrong.
Geoducks have fused siphon tips. That doesn’t appear to be the case with the clam in your picture.

That space phenomenon that glows was the great Geoduck of the skies. Legend tells of how Its phosphorescent sky siphon sucks energy into its visceral mass and mantle on or close to the fall solstice, brightly pointing towards the Ancestral mud flats, in so doing also guiding the night flying migratory birds.

Alternatively if you used a flash on your phone sometimes fast moving objects will streak against a black background. I have some night photos of a snowstorm where it looks like fluorescent light tubes are coming down instead of snowflakes

Or yes, maybe Elon's flaming space nuts on re-entry to the atmosphere

Whatever it was was lit up, moving slowly across the sky as seen in the photo. Once the flash fired, whatever it was turned off, as if it saw my flash and then went incognito mode.

That looks like the Starlink satellites moving into orbit. They were in the local news a couple weeks ago and the story explained when to go out and look for them the next night. I went and looked bu didn't see anything from my place.

The other night I saw 7 or 8 stars in the north sky in a perfectly straight line, though separated by a good distance. It looked like Orions belt but larger. I thought maybe Orion had put on a few pounds and upsized the belt

Would be interesting to know the story behind that one.
Scorned wife / girlfriend or passed out after a all night beach rave or kegger prior to high tide?

Perhaps an "untalented" guitarist on a luxury yacht woke up one morning and could not find his guitar anywhere. Lot's of annoying things get tossed overboard.

Wishing I was fishing the Sauk
Surprised it floats!

Then again it looks like its been stipped of all internals on the body.

Hahahaha! I love this one the best! Here is what i think about this photo, as someone who is married to the drummer in a band who has a standing gig right now two days a week.

This guitar (or is it a bass, i can’t tell) was thrown into the Sound by the wife of the musician.

When he IS home he is usually working on music stuff. She is doing EVERYTHING around the house. And if they have kids oh boy, that would be so much worse.

So finally one day after emptying the dishwasher for the 234th time she just snapped. And she picked up his guitar/bass and maybe chose Fox Island bridge (cause it would likely be more damaged from the Narrows) and tossed it over.

Every time I can't find a piece of fishing/tying gear, i suspect my wife has done just this. To date it's an unfounded fear, but I'm pretty sure it's coming.

It’s a good thing my husband does pretty good around the house. We talked about this when he got into this new band after he retired last June. He does more now than he did when he was still working, including cooking!

It works for us cause i like having time alone and he would be too antsy being retired and being as much of a homebody as i am. I go to some gigs, but not all of them.

Hahaha… @Pink Nighty … now that i think about it, I’m surprised no one has ever found a fishing rod in the Sound that is likely thrown off a bridge by a spouse! But if she wanted to do it right, i remember that fishing poll about how many fly rods y’all have… It would make more sense to see 15 fly rods floating in the Sound!

I've shown her bits of that thread to say "See?? I'm not that bad, damn near reasonable once you think about it."

Shes not allowed to know the actual number of rods, or where they are all kept. I give her a rough estimate on how many pounds of fly rods I have and leave it at that.

A whatever find from the "beach" I pictured. Hopefully they had success using it. :confused:

Found this one yesterday.
Not sure what he is carrying, but I took it as a broken cross and he was praying that I’d catch a fish or two. 😉
