This past week I had the pleasure of attending the Bailey Matthews Shell Museum Open House.  The local island community was invited to view the new gift shop area and see the “Shellabration 2012” shell flower arrangement dedication.  My pictures really don’t capture the detail and beauty of this arrangement.  The evening was well attended, much more than I had anticipated. It was nice to see fellow shellers, friends and see this amazing queen helmet shell that was recently donated to the museum.  I would encourage you to visit the Bailey Matthews Shell Museum on Sanibel, it’s well worth the visit.  I always learn something new and often run into an old friend when I visit the museum.

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.

    Looks like a fun evening. I need to go back to the Shell Museum. I haven't been there in several years.
