Coquina beach on Sanibel<\/p><\/div>\n

Hundreds of COQUINAS<\/a> are washing up on the beach at the east end of Sanibel. Most of them are alive and actively digging back under the sand when the waves come crashing in. \u00a0My picture above shows that by the late afternoon low tide , they might be getting a little tired of the constant waves coming in. I don’t blame them! That’s a lot of digging…. remember my Coquina Coverup video<\/a>? I haven’t seen so many on our beaches since that day last month… until yesterday.<\/p>\n

The wind has been picking up from Tropical storm Bonnie so the kiteboarders were loving life\u00a0\u00a0and<\/strong> for us? There could be some really good shelling ….hmmmm…I’m guessing maybe on Sunday! Let’s keep our fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

I do have some more exciting news (other than we might have \u00a0really fun shelling coming up this week from TS Bonnie). I attended a meeting this morning making the 75th Annual Sanibel Shell Fair and Show in 2012 the most spectacular week-long seashell event ever on the planet called “Shellabration!”. The fair is normally a 3 day event but in 2012 it will be February 26 through March 3 (as of now). A Shellebration for shellers! Yes!\u00a0I will keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
