Our boat on North Captiva<\/p><\/div>\n

We haven’t been able to go out on our boat in over 3 months since the weather on the weekends has been either too\u00a0stinkin’ cold,\u00a0windy or raining…. so yesterday we celebrated a beautiful boating day by going to North Captiva and Cayo Costa. Weeehooo! Finally! And to top it off? We found good shells too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A worm shell! Yeah!<\/p><\/div>\n

And a sand dollar!<\/p><\/div>\n

On North Captiva, we were excited to find a few WORM SHELLS , 3 or 4 KING’S CROWNS and the SAND DOLLAR but it wasn’t enough to keep us there all day. We jumped back in the boat to enjoy our picnic lunch while we cruised north to Cayo Costa. On the way, we saw several pods of dolphin playing very close to the boat ( I missed that photo op! They are just too fast) and 2 bald eagles perched on tree branches on shore (no telephoto lens today- sorry!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hundreds of Cockle shells on Cayo Costa and a few Baby's Ears too<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Loads of shells in the tree roots on Cayo Costa<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Whelks, Olives, Conchs, Murexes, Cockles, Shark's Eyes, King's Crowns and baby Horse Conchs<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Everybody finding treasures<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My peeps! Clark, Gracie, Ted, and Ellen<\/p><\/div>\n

By the end of the day, we all had an exceptional time cruising the waters, spotting wildlife, island hopping, and finding lots of seashell treasures to remind us how lucky we were to have this adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
