Sheri And Sam

Sheri And Sam

Sam spotted a HUGE horse conch in the marina.  We pulled the boat over and Sam got out and pulled this beautiful shell on board. We took many photos. Soon after Sam spotted some fins on the water. It turned out to be a spotted eagle ray. (My favorite) We watched this ray for a long time. Then we traveled south of secret spot number two.  The beach was loaded with many shells. Time seemed to fly by. We had to pull Sheri off the beach.(She could have shelled for days) I enjoyed the conversations about shells and  horses. Great finds and great horses! I look forward to seeing you again next year .P.S. Sam I also look forward to a 15.1  on Sunday:)

    I was going to go with them but our weeks didn't cross and then I didn't end up going at all. 🙁

    Love that horse conch Sam spotted. She has a good "eye"!

    Yes, Sheri could stay for days! LOL
