Exploring the Islands with Kathy Part 1

Exploring the Islands with Kathy Part 1

  Whether it is being ankle deep in the muck or confirming what critter lies on the trail ahead, Kathy is always up for whatever comes our way. Kathy is an avid shell collector and a keen observer of wildlife. I enjoyed 2 charter days with Kathy and learning from her observations of wildlife….to be continued.

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.

    Thanks for two more great days of exploring and shell collecting. It is always awesome to get to see and experience the diversity in eco-systems in and around North Cap and Cayo Costa. Southwest Florida has amazing wildlife, in many forms, as well as great shells….some to observe and some to collect.
