\"Finding<\/a><\/p>\n

We found seashells for miles on our iLoveShelling adventure<\/strong><\/a> yesterday to\u00a0Cayo Costa with Captiva Cruises<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Collecting<\/a><\/p>\n

Among WHELKS, CONCHS, COCKLES, OLIVES and TULIPS, Morgan found a MACULATED BABY’S EAR and her brother (both from MO) found a huge WORM SHELL.<\/p>\n

\"Morgan<\/a><\/p>\n

An outstanding BROWN BABYS EAR- Congratshellations Morgan!<\/p>\n

\"maculated<\/a><\/p>\n

Bill and Linda from PA found some gorgeous treasures too.<\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out the color pattern on Bill’s LIGHTNING WHELK. The cream stripes on his shell are fantastic and are not so\u00a0common- its pretty spectacsheller.<\/p>\n

\"some<\/a><\/p>\n

Bonnie and Michele (Chicago) with friend Cindy (Cape Coral) found bag full of shells.<\/p>\n

\"Bonnie<\/a><\/p>\n

I was with Cindy when she found these sweet shells in less than one minute in one of the piles.<\/p>\n

\"shells<\/a><\/p>\n

Jan from Iowa worked the high and dry tide wrack line because she knows thats where the best beach bling hides.<\/p>\n

\"jan<\/a><\/p>\n

She was pretty happy with all her amazing beach finds. I could have looked in her bling bucket for an hour it was so cool. I love that stuff!<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a><\/p>\n

Abbey from Utah was very happy with her shell finds but was happiest with her perfect SAND DOLLAR.<\/p>\n

\"Abbey<\/a><\/p>\n

It was wonderful to shell with Abbey’s whole family and see them find ANGEL WINGS, dried SEA URCHINS, CONCHS, WHELKS and all sorts of sweet shells.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/a><\/p>\n

Lori, Emma and Lisa from Ohio filled seashells and beach bling to the brim of their shell bags too. Lori brought a hanging mesh bag with compartments that worked perfectly to keep her SAND DOLLARS, SEA URCHINS and other breakables safe from getting smooches. Clever!<\/p>\n

It’s always fun to see my buddy Rachel (NY) show up on the cruise when she is in town for the shell show. She’s always looking for unusual shells for her exhibits- remember her pearl exhibit last year? To see it CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Rachel<\/a><\/p>\n

It was lovely to meet\u00a0Tom, Kathleen and Joann visiting from Ohio. They found some great keepers but I never got to see all of their finds since I was so interested in the booties they\u00a0had on. Clark loves to wear dive boots on the beach since they are good in and out of the water under any conditions so I might get hime these booties Joann had on. I just looked them up- Thanks Kathleen! If you are interested too- you can find them by clicking on ….\u00a0\u00a0Mares trilastic dive boots<\/a>\"\"\u00a0.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Tom,<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with lots of other goodies, Shelling Sister Diane found a beautiful WINGED OYSTER with a stunning pearlescent interior and her sister (and Shelling Sister) Marilyn from Chicago found a monster of a LACE MUREX. Gorgeous!<\/p>\n

\"Diane<\/a><\/p>\n

\"atlantic<\/a><\/p>\n

I couldn’t believe it when I met Melissa and Clement (CA) and saw they had a collapsible shelling scoop made exactly like the one John (the engineer) made on one of February’s cruises (CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a>). Melissa told her mom Glenda that she would love to have her scoop mad that way so she\u00a0could pack it in their luggage… so Glenda made one for her! OMG Thats Awesome!<\/p>\n

\"melissa<\/a><\/p>\n

I knew it would be a good trip when\u00a0Ginny from MA found a\u00a0KINGS CROWN beside the dock at McCarthy’s Marina<\/p>\n

\"Ginny<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only did we finds lots of seashells, we saw a family of MANATEES and we had DOLPHINS playing by our boat. It was a fabulous day.<\/p>\n

\"dolphin<\/a><\/p>\n

Mother Nature must have gotten the message we wanted sunshine, seashells and sealife sightings . Thanks Captain Elliot for calling her on the Shellphone!!<\/p>\n
