Four veteran water ladies spent the afternoon with me relaxing and exploring. The afternoon’s weather was perfect. We went to secret spot number 11 and walked the beach. The beach was filled with coquinas as far as the eye could see. A large lightning whelk was found soon after setting foot on the beach. Then a seahorse was found. It was that kind of day. Next it was to a local watering hole off the beaten path. Great fun was had and good conversations were exchanged. The water was slick calm on the return to Captiva. We observed many dolphin playing and enjoyed more great conversations.  Many thanks to the Jersey ladies for a fun afternoon of relaxing and exploring.

    The water looks so calm and beautiful. And to find a gorgeous seahorse….what a special gift from the sea. Great shell finds, especially the whelks…and an albino one at that.

    I just checked out all the wonderful photos from our fantastic Jersey Ladies trip and WOW WOW WOW! It was wonderful to relive our perfect afternoon of shelling and sharing in God's beautiful gifts to us. Capt Brian your expertise and fun spirit were greatly appreciated and you certainly knew where to find a great stash of shells! This special afternoon will carry me through a long, cold winter ahead.
