Two Trips With The Chicago Sisters

28 Oct Two Trips With The Chicago Sisters

The Chicago sisters traveled with me for two early morning trips. The early morning light on our second trip was stunning. The north wind had the water extremely low. We watched many live olive shells nestle in the sand. Many treasures were found, even a message in a bottle. I still need to pursue deciphering what it says. You never know what you will find.  The long time shellers from Chicago are always prepared for shelling and always a pleasure to shell with. I look forward to our trips in March.   Capt. Brian

    What a beautiful morning! I am amazed at how awesome the beach is, with all the tidal pools to look through!

    Wow! Your photos are spectacular. I think our next trip will leave in the early morning hours. Looks like a special time to be on the water.

    The message in a bottle sounds exciting. Any chance you might post the message? It would be fun to see…
