It was another fun trip with Katie the lover of anything to do with the water and her family.  We started out the trip by viewing dolphin not far from the marina. Then it was off to favorite island number one.  A nice nutmeg was found along with a nice worm shell, a small whelk and a sand dollar. The weather started to move in so we headed back to the boat. Then just as I was getting ready to pull the anchor, Ryan noticed something in the water. It was a manatee cruising along the beach and under our anchor line. He went by the boat, turned around, ate some sea grass and cruised on. After the anchor was pulled it was off to secret spot #3 where Katie found a very cool and large barnacle encrusted angel wing. It was another fun day on the water with Katie and Family. I look forward to our next adventure. Capt. Brian

    I'll be there next time. Just waiting until the weather drops to -20. Haha. Glad you guys had a great time, and the shirts look fantastic. Anyone looking for a great cruise, I certainly recommend Captain Brian.

    Beautiful photos. It looks like Katie and her family had another great day. How very neat that you guys had such a close encounter with the manatee. What a memorable experience. And that angel wing is gorgeous, too, with the full spread of barnacles.
