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

We saw\u00a0a LETTERED OLIVE “garden” on Cayo Costa during our iLoveShelling boating adventure with Captiva Cruises<\/a>!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"seashells<\/p>\n

It took a little walk to the north of our boat to find this massive mound of seashells but… Wow! There it was…. a big fat beautiful pile of treasures washed up on the beach.<\/p>\n

Quite a few OLIVES were rolling around in the water as well.<\/p>\n

And a\u00a0WENTLETRAP!<\/p>\n

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

So much fun to experience this shell hunt with folks that feel the same way about shelling as I do…<\/p>\n

Always makes me happy to spend time with great friends…<\/p>\n

And to catch\u00a0special appearances of wildlife like this pair of BALD EAGLES as we passed North Captiva island on the way back to McCarthy’s Marina. Thanks to captains John and Elliot for getting our boat close enough to see these majestic creatures.<\/p>\n

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

And thank you to all of these amazing shellers!<\/p>\n

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

PS- My apologies to these awesome folks for this delayed post (before Thanksgiving)… as this was a very bitter sweet day for Clark and me. After only 3 years of age, we lost our sweet, smart, funny, entertaining, amazing little PuppyCat to kidney issues this same day. I’m grateful to each and every person on this cruise which gave\u00a0me\u00a0laughter and much needed heartfelt happiness helping me more than you can imagine.<\/p>\n

Especially to Kaitlyn….<\/p>\n
