Margaret, Pam, Patti and Cathy went shelling with me in two different secret spots. Margaret is a mover and a shaker when it comes to shelling. She was leading the pack. Last year I took Margaret and her husband Manny out. What a great guy! This year it was Margaret and three of her friends. Margaret found a beautiful piece of junonia and an excellent lace murex. I enjoyed walking and talking with the ladies at secret spot number 3. We found many sandollars and one of the ladies found a stunning albino fighting conch. She told me I should have it because I had found so many treasures for her . Well you know me and albinos, I was very pleased to add this shell to my collection. It is the only one of this kind that I have in my collection.  It was a fun day on the water and the weather was in our favor.  Thank you Margaret and crew.
P.S.  Tell Manny I say hi.

    Such nice shells! I love the first photo – the sand looks like powder. Sigh….

    Thank you Captain Brian,
    We had a fantastic time, a little shaky at first with getting everyone in the boat. Manny and I will be back and we are planning on a full day with you. Manny loves his crucifix fish, Thank you for truly a wonderful time.
