What a wonderful day on the water. Today, I travelled with Libby, Lisa, Lori and Barb from White Bear Lake Minnesota.We started the trip by exploring a newly formed sandbar/island off the coast of Captiva. These ladies christened the island and called it Bare Foot Sisters Island. Next we travelled to one of Captain Brian's secret spots and found many excellent discoveries as a result of the recent heavy surf. To name a few, a very large banded tulip, a winged oyster, the most unbelievable olive shell that I have ever seen, miniature rice shells, a wentletrap and many other minis. Another great day of shelling was had with the Bare Foot Sisters.

Moria, The new island slash sandbar is west of redfish pass by Captiva. Over the years it comes and goes. There was an easy swell push last week that changed a lot of the islands I go to. I noticed a few sutle changes yesterday on the beach we were on in May. The beauty is always changing:)
Omg. I am loving the barefoot island!! Look at all those shells. What a whopping big tulip!! Holy cow! Just beautiful
I took another look at ur post..question for anyone who knows...what is the shell pictured above the olive picture and below the cockle picture???
Then again the two last pictures of the shell board..the very bottom right corner..those two shells? What shells are those???
Traci, those are winged oysters. I don't find them that often.
