It was a great day of exploring with Texas shellers, Selena and Don. We left the dock shortly after 7am and returned at 5. A lot of area was covered. We started at secret spot 05 where we collected on the beach and then went for a little tour of the back country on the island. Next it was off to a quiet area in the mangroves where we dropped anchor and had lunch on the boat. The only sounds to be heard were an Osprey and mullet jumping. After a quiet lunch we went to a long stretch of beach filled with sea urchins and shells. It was a great day with Selena and Don.
  I look forward to our next adventure.

    The water looked beautiful. And looks like they found an amazingly large collection of sea urchins! Plus a brittle star and an angel wing. Cool photo of the Kings crown, too. What a great day for them!
