We finally got down to Blind Pass last night just in time to catch the -0.1 low tide. As usual, the beach has changed since a week ago when we were there last and the sand bars have shifted. The best thing was… more shells! And I met \u00a0Shelling Sistah Lisa (a Virginia Beach girl too!) with her blue shell bag filling up with The Sanibel Six<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and more like a TURKEY WING and some sweet KITTEN’S PAWS.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Lisa’s husband Eric (they are both teachers- love those teachers!) was doing just as well…<\/p>\n

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

Eric told me he found something “a little different” ….. he found a beautiful NUTMEG!<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0I also met Denise and PC from Savannah, GA with…. yep, the Sanibel Six along with TURBANS and more plus a WORMIE!! I was surprised to see there were a few WORM SHELLS out there too ;).<\/p>\n

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

Then the sky started turning dark and the storm was getting closer. I know, look at all those larger shells on the beach! They were mostly PEN SHELLS, cracked FIGHTING CONCHS and DOSINIAS.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0And look what the backhoe pulled up in one scoop! An ALPHABET CONE and a TRUE TULIP! That was the last hurrah. We headed off the beach before the storm got any closer.<\/p>\n

Most of you probably don’t use Twitter but I sometimes enjoy a small tweet or two….. especially yesterday when I got this tweet from @Lifesabeach that said “What we found at Blind Pass yesterday”. This photo was attached ( you can click on it to go to her photo page)…..Yowza!<\/p>\n

Okay I have one more thing…..\u00a0I need to be serious just for a second. It’s about the strong currents and\u00a0rip tides<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that occur often at Blind Pass…. especially with the tidal changes. It can be very dangerous! Really! Think about it….the same water that can sweep all of those shells to the shore in a matter of minutes can sweep a person out into danger. Just please be smart and careful(even if you are a strong swimmer!) if you feel a strong current, undertow or rip tides- go shell on the beach or just she shallow water. Okay, I want to leave you on a good note so go back and look at all of Lisa’s shells in the first photo so you can smile again!<\/p>\n
