April is almost over, seems like yesterday it was the 3rd. Now May is approaching and it looks, feels and smells great. I look forward to the next 45, days. Things are going to be busy. I am looking forward to showing many people the beauty of Southwest Florida. This week will be Rick and Gail, followed by Beverly and family, then Moira and family, next Daniyell and her family. Then look out, Busybee and crew. Then shelling till sunset, with Alanine and her sister. The next trip will be with my good friends and long time clients, Nancy and Brian. Mellisa is going to hold down the fort while they are away. I look forward to seeing Mellisa in August. The next day will be with an old time sheller from the Lone Star state. I look forward to hearing his shell stories and learning.  The photo of the rare shell above was found on Cayo Costa April 21 at 2:30 in the afternoon. The young gentleman who found it was kind enough to let me take a picture of it. You never know when that spotted univalve will appear.

I have been a Shelling Guide to Cayo Costa State Park since 1995. Many people know me as the Shelling Guide and Captain with Captiva Cruises over the past 20 years. In 2016 I began solely offering private small boat charters to the islands of Pine Island Sound including Cayo Costa State Park, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Pine Island and North Captiva. I am a certified Florida Master Naturalist, licensed USCG Captain, avocational photographer, seashell enthusiast and passionate about the history, people and culture of Southwest Florida, especially Cayo Costa. I volunteer as a member of Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and have great respect for the heritage of Cayo Costa. My goal is to provide guests with an overall experience and appreciation for the waters, islands, shells, plants, marine life, wildlife, history and people of this unique area of Southwest Florida.
