Every day is an adventure especially with Judy from Oregon. What a hoot! This was her first time shelling in Southwest Florida. The shelling was excellent. I was thrilled to see the Scotch Bonnet! She collected angel wings, a large sharks eye, pear whelks, lighting whelks, fighting conchs, four babies ears, carmel worm shells, olive shells, sun ray venus, a kings crown, then the strap on her shelling bag broke. Lucky for her there were two straps. We talked about the shelling in Hawaii and what she finds on the Oregon coast. ( She told me of a beach where she finds agates on the coast of Oregon, I promptly filed this information on beaches to go to.) It was a fun adventure with Judy. All I can say is ” Scotch Bonnet”

    Ok. I am heading to the Oregon Coast in two weeks. Can I persuade you to share the name of that beach? Pretty please!
