Immerse in an ECO-Tour and Experience Southwest Florida Islands by Boat

“Captain Brian Holaway is well versed in the intricacies of our unmatched locale. He can guide to and through a multitude of out-of-the way tidal creeks, bayous, keys and islands. More important is his passionate interest and respect for the region. With unique insights from his many explorations and his studies, not only does he identify the birds and wildlife that inhabit our semi-tropical watery land, but he explains their interconnectedness to their environment and each other. In addition, he shares the fascinating history of rugged people who came long before us: Florida Native Indians, the Calusa, the Spanish, the Cubans, early homesteaders, and the wisdom evident in the growth of their culture.

You will come away with great enjoyment and a new understanding of this beautiful place and its history.”

Backporch Cleaning








The rain has been from here to Cuba for the last 48 hours. I thought," Why not organize my back porch?" It sounded good at the time. Now I need to get more cases to put the shells in. Then putting everything in my own dewy decimal system ( Panama, Everglades, and Cayo Costa) This is going to take a while. Maybe I should have thought this one through better before opening this can of worm shells. Has the rain stopped? Can I go outside now?

I think that old wooden soda case would look cool with some glass over it to make it some sort of table. Are you getting psych'd for all these super negative low tides coming up in November?

Capt. Brian Holaway said...

Kabye,The shelling should be good this weekend, after this south wind switches tomorrow. Yes ,Your November tides will be here soon. It's all good.

I like Kaybe's table idea.... Thanks for taunting me with all those great shells. Is that a horseshoe crab skeleton? That thing is huge! Where did you find that?

Capt. Brian Holaway said...

Yes that is a horseshoe crab. Where did I find it? Actually I didn't, my daughter did. She found it in the ten thousand islands in the Florida Everglades when we were exploring . It's one of her favorite spots because "dad doesn't know anybody down there".

I'll be there in November to take advantage of som of those low tides!! Yipee....I'm hoping those storms will stir things up way out there and push them in by the 5th!! I love Kaybe's idea too about the table!!

I ♥ the idea from Kaybe of putting glass over the case to make a table or something. Very clever and would be oh-so cool!
