What a fun time with Mindy and Erica. Mindy was been collecting seashells on Sanibel since the mid 1970s. The trip started by seeing many dolphin on the way to the out islands. Erica was the mammal whisperer. She spotted the dolphin and also wanted to see a manatee. Sure enough later in the trip a manatee appeared as I was pulling the anchor. Mindy is an excellent photographer. It was a pleasure positioning the boat for her to get great shots of the birds. I enjoyed the conversations as we walked and shelled. Thank you ladies for a fun day on the water.  Keep on shelling!  Capt Brian

    What a wonderful day we had! It was great meeting you, and can't wait for another shelling adventure next year. I'll concentrate on seeing that bobcat next time 🙂

    Brian,
    I'm finally finished posting the pix I took during my stay in Sanibel in February. Here's the link if you want to check them out. As I told you, I tend to go a little crazy with the digital shooting. I'm really pleased with some of the osprey pix from your boat. I hope you enjoy.
