Kim And Chablis Rolling With The Tide

Kim And Chablis Rolling With The Tide

Kim and Chablis have traveled with me for many years. They are always open for adventure and whatever comes our way. They can both roll with the tide.  The trip started by seeing a large pod of dolphin out in the Gulf. Chablis and Kim both took many photos. Next it was off to secret spot Z, however we got sidetracked along the way. The water was so clear we just had to stop to explore the grass flats and shallow sand bars. Eventually we made our way to secret spot Z spot. The beach was empty of people and full of solitude. The afternoon storm clouds were edging closer so we started our trek back to Captiva. On the way back we briefly stopped at secret spot no number where a cherished shell was found:).  Chablis made me a very cool sign for my back porch. I have included a picture of Chablis and I with the sign, also a picture of the sign on my back porch. Thank you Chablis for sign and thank you both for another fun adventure on the water. Capt.

    Oh man!! What a cool sign and it looks so good on your back porch seashell room. The best thing about the web is meeting like-minded people like Kim, Chablis & Capt Brian. There's nothing like sharing our love of the sea in person.

    Brian, our day on the water with you is always the highlight of our trip. You always make it special and we so appreciate that.

    I was thrilled to get my horse conch this trip and it will have a place of honor on my desk.

    Chablis is happy you like the sign that she made especially for you. I can't wait until our next excursion.
