Barry (from the east coast of Florida) had a pretty iffy morning even after the skies cleared up. When we got to the island he headed straight to the water,\u00a0did a few stoops\u00a0to pick up a few treasures then realized&#8230; his iPhone had fallen out of his top pocket. Ack! I saw he had a sick look on his face so he told me what happened&#8230; he couldn&#8217;t find his phone. My first thought was&#8230;. call in the troops! We&#8217;ve got a boat load of shellers who looooove to find &#8220;things&#8221;! So I shouted an announcement down the beach &#8220;Everybody look for a lost iPhone!&#8221; \u00a0I don&#8217;t normally shout on the beach but we were the only ones on this beach and I felt like I was with family already&#8230; so I figured, why not? Two minutes later, snorkelers Jen and Dwayne found Barry&#8217;s phone in the water and held it up like they had just found a JUNONIA. Weeehooo! I love hanging out with shellers- such kind people. Seriously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/static.iloveshelling.com\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Snorkelers-Jen-and-Dwayne-found-Barrys-iPhone.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20765 size-medium\" title=\"Snorkelers Jen and Dwayne found Barry's iPhone\" src=\"http:\/\/static.iloveshelling.com\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Snorkelers-Jen-and-Dwayne-found-Barrys-iPhone-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Snorkelers Jen and Dwayne found Barry's iPhone\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Snorkelers-Jen-and-Dwayne-found-Barrys-iPhone-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Snorkelers-Jen-and-Dwayne-found-Barrys-iPhone.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took this photo of Dwayne snorkeling just moments before I talked to Barry.
