It is always a pleasure to see the faces of Ursla, Izzy, Ben, Jennifer, Pat and Walter walk down the dock. Ben, Izzy and Ursla (the kids) always stump me with questions and answers. The kids are excellent shellers, and sometimes a little competitive. Jennifer has a very good eye for finding shells just off the radar. (maybe that's where her kids get this from.) We had two excellent days of shelling with many highlights. Ben found many crown conchs. Lizzy found horse conchs and crown conchs. Jennifer found many beautiful orange scallops. Ursula, well... She needed to wash the sand off her hands so I went with her to wash her hands off in the surf. When she finished washing her hands a lions paw washed up. (I guess it was a good time to wash your hands) It was a great two days of shelling with the explorer family. I look forward to our trips in March and April. Capt. Brian

Wow. The family had a great day(s) to be on the water. The spikes on the Kings crown in the photo were wonderful. And the worm shells were cool. And finding both a flat scallop and a lions paw....how special. Great shelling!
Thanks for the beautiful photos. I'm just sitting here with single digit temps outside, transporting my mind to the warmth of SW Florida! Wonderful finds, especially the paw!
How cool! Look how low that tide is. What a fun trip.
