The morning started early with Morgan and her husband Chad. We were on the Island before the sun came up. They took advantage of the negative low tide, walking miles before the sun appeared. Morgan has been a sheller for over 20 years. She has a keen eye and appreciates a good shell when she finds one. I enjoyed listening to her stories of “Old Captiva”. On the way back to the marina we observed four pods of dolphin. One of the pods I had never seen before. It was all very exciting. We took many photos of the dolphin. This trip time seemed to fly by at a rapid pace. I look forward to our next adventure.

I wish you'd do a post about dolphins and how to tell them apart. I think its fascinating that you can identify different pods.
I will work on that post Kim. Every dorsil fin tells a story.
Hi Brian!
OMG..you captured yet another beautiful sunrise! I'm jealous! Beautiful picture you took of the welk. Your pictures are getting better and better, some are just stunning. You could be a NAT GEO photographer too!!!!
Good idea Kim…A blog on dolphin identification would be great Brian. A lot of people do not know how or what to look for in identifying dolphins. You can even range a dolphins age from there dorsil fin too!
Thanks again for an awesome trip, Brian! We had a great time. And I agree that a dolphin identification blog entry would be great!
