Veteran shellers returned for a fun filled trip. We started by going to "little avocet island". This is a little sand bar that comes and goes throughout the year. It has not been there for 8 months but appeared 2 weeks before they arrived. After spending some time on this little speck of sand we traveled farther north. The Gulf waters were beautiful. Sand dollars were found along with many olive shells. Manatees and dolphins were spotted. On the return trip we saw my old friend the magnificent frigate bird. Gail and I both took many pictures of this close encounter. Thanks for a wonderful day on the water. Capt. Brian

Looks like it was a beautiful day with some great shelling finds! Love the murex and sand dollars. And, seeing dolphins and manatees is always a special treat.
What a beautiful day! Doesn't get any better than blue skies, calm water, dolphins and a nice Shark's Eye :-)
We had a wonderful day! It was the best shelling of our entire week. Seeing the Frigates was exciting, as well as the manatee. I was never so wet, though, as we bounced over the rough waves, but the day was a blast, as usual! Thanks so much!!
