Aug 20, 2015 Seashells in shell with wave

We found a huge “Sit ‘N Sift” shell pile on Cayo Costa during our iLoveShelling shelling adventure with Captiva Cruises yesterday.

As always, there’s always a lot of sharing shells when awesome shellers get together.

Every single step through the island was a great exploration while hanging out with new friends.

The water was so warm and clear Lauren, George and Beth (NY) stayed in the water just about the whole time on the island.

Andrew, Mark and Daniel (NY) felt the same way. Mark told me that the water was still so cold up in Log Island so it’s a treat to be able to play in the warm water of the Gulf Of Mexico.

The water must be cold in Michigan too because Todd and Michelle were loving the water too. :)

After I snapped the photo of Marth’s BABY EAR, I waded into the water to check for shells since the water was so clear then saw a big black blob way out in the water… a MANATEE! I started my video to see if I could catch its cute little nose come out of the water…and then it turned for the beach… and head straight for me! And then… I started squealing. OMG so embarrassing that my voice goes into the highest silliest pitch you’ve ever heard. Hahaha You think I was a little excited?

Funny And amazing, huh? So who found those nice shells in the first photo? They were found by Noa and her mom Joann (Utah)… big smiles for a great day.
