Good Times With Elna And Lisa

12 Dec Good Times With Elna And Lisa

We left the dock under a sliver of moonlight. Elna and Lisa were troopers. The first spot we went to the sun was not up yet. When the first light hit the beach we witnessed many live olives. Elna found worm shells and this little horse conch. Next we traveled north of secret spot number two in search of mini shells. We filled the box with wentletraps, tusks, rice shells, and other cool finds. On the way back to the marina we saw dolphin and manatee. Lisa and Elna were very happy with their trip. I look forward to our next day on the water.

    That is the plan Kim, and a few surprises. The list keeps growing. Neil, David Allen….

    That looks like the same horse conch that Fred and Polly found. In all my shelling escapades, I've yet to pick up a wentletrap. There's always next time…

    Still loving the Horse Conch Jackpot. Two! One bigger then the next!

    Isn't there a photo without my hand covering half of the gorgeousness of that shell?

    Am I able to download any of these photos?

    That minus low tide in January is calling me too…
