Chicago Sisters II

Chicago Sisters II

The second trip of the Chicago sisters started before the sunrise. We traveled to a lone stretch of water, shut the engine off and drifted with the tide as we watched night become day. Next we traveled to favorite island number one. The sisters enjoyed an educational walk and talk about the plants and their communities on the island. The beach was full of new discoveries and empty of people.  Many small shells were collected. A large tulip was found, a live horse conch, baby’s ear, a piece of a cone shell and sea pearls.
  Thank you Chicago sisters for another great early morning on the beach.
   Keep on Shelling!

I have been a Shelling Guide to Cayo Costa State Park since 1995. Many people know me as the Shelling Guide and Captain with Captiva Cruises over the past 20 years. In 2016 I began solely offering private small boat charters to the islands of Pine Island Sound including Cayo Costa State Park, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Pine Island and North Captiva. I am a certified Florida Master Naturalist, licensed USCG Captain, avocational photographer, seashell enthusiast and passionate about the history, people and culture of Southwest Florida, especially Cayo Costa. I volunteer as a member of Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and have great respect for the heritage of Cayo Costa. My goal is to provide guests with an overall experience and appreciation for the waters, islands, shells, plants, marine life, wildlife, history and people of this unique area of Southwest Florida.
