I enjoyed showing the King family around the islands. We started the trip exploring the flats where we found a beautiful kings crown and three horseshoe crabs. Next in our journey we traveled to Cayo Costa. They King family was in search of  calico clams and sun ray venus. The searching went well, many calico’s were collected as well as sun ray venus, and lettered olive shells. The weather was beautiful. On the return trip we all got to see a observe a loggerhead turtle in the water. I managed to get a picture from a distance.( You can zoom in on the fifth photo above) This was the perfect ending to a enjoyable day.
