I recently went exploring via paddle board with a long time friend, Kim Hull, of Flow Paddle Tours, and her friend Alecia.  Kim is a marine biologist, excellent photographer, paddle boarder and has been studying dolphins in the Pine Island Sound Area for over fifteen years.  While paddle boarding we had a great time talking about cameras, dolphin, paddle boards and the future of our businesses.  After paddling, we took a break and shelled the beaches.  Kim found an Albino Fighting Conch which I am sorry to say that I did not get a picture of.  She captured the photo above of me holding a live Albino Lightning Whelk which we returned back to the water.  Kim is a true water person who has helped me with my photography and is always a knowledgeable resource of marine life.  I look forward to the next excursion on the water.

    Do it! I love the paddle board. It alows me to go places and collect shells that most people don't go:)

    Looks like fun. The photo of you kneeling on your board is a good one!

    Hi Brian,
    What an amazing day on the water we had! I was just looking at my shells, I love mini's… I'm sure Kim sent you all the pics, but I'd like to upload a few that I love. Let me know when the shell shows are, I'd like to enter a few of my finds. And thank you so much for going above and beyond to make sure my most fragile shells made it home safe and sound!! Alicia
