All of the stars were aligned on this trip. I always enjoy having Moira and Marty on the boat. This year they brought along Karen and Al. We had perfect weather and no one else on the beach but us. We traveled to favorite island number one. The beach was beautiful. Marty was finding olive shells and picking up large jingle shells for Moria. I enjoyed walking and talking with Moira as we shelled. Meanwhile Karen was filling her shell bag up with sand dollars. The tide was falling fast. Next we headed to the flats. The flats were full of beautiful live shells that we photographed. We also found a handful of Morton egg cockles.  Thank you Moira and Marty for another fun day on the water!

    Brian, we always enjoy going on a trip with you! Each time the beaches are different, the shells are varied and the scenery is beautiful!! You teach us something new each trip, too!!

    Karen and Al enjoyed our adventure; it was a new experience for them, and we talked about it on the way home.

    Thanks, again Brian – we won't forget the toadfish!!!

    I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures with Kim and Chablis next week!
