I always enjoy taking long time visitors Dean and Bonnie to the islands and out on the water. Dean and Bonnie are troopers and are always up for whatever adventure comes our way. Bonnie found many olives and nice whelks. Dean found one of the largest pear whelks I have ever seen, but it was alive so we took a picture and but it back in the water. We also saw bobcat tracks and a new sea turtle nest. It is unusual to see a sea turtle nest this late in the season. Time passed by fast as we were walking, talking and shelling. I look forward to our next adventure!

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.
