That&#8217;s exactly what happened last night&#8230; wind gusts of 30 mph coming from the NW so I already found some goodies at Blind Pass Captiva this morning. I took a virtually shelling video to share the beach combing walk. I don&#8217;t know why I said winds of 12 mph&#8230; they were higher than that. AND I can&#8217;t believe how many good shells I missed! There was a WORMIE sitting right there and I didn&#8217;t even see it! And there was a LIGHTNING WHELK in the crevice of the rock that I didn&#8217;t see either!\u00a0Dang! But I did find another one. I didn&#8217;t have my coffee yet so maybe that&#8217;s why I was a little spacey.
