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

After seeing over 700 hovering hineys on Bowman’s Beach today, \u00a0I’m sure there was a new record set for the Guinness Book of World Records doing the Sanibel Stoop.<\/p>\n

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

It was a blast to experience this spectacular kickoff for the 75th Annual Sanibel Shell Fair and Show<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>with so many shellers bending over … with butts in the air … to do the Sanibel Stoop all at one time.<\/p>\n

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

Before we started stooping, it was like a party while I stood in line with friends Karen, Gail, Sandy and Jane<\/a><\/strong> to register our names to make it official.<\/p>\n

Then we all headed to the beach…<\/p>\n

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

My good friend Lisa<\/a><\/strong> showed up in style with her iLS cap! But why are\u00a0Jane and I\u00a0turned around? We put our tees backwards for the stoop overhead photos- ha!)<\/p>\n

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

Then the party got crazy when 3 other beach bloggers showed up! Here’s the\u00a0shark’s tooth queen of Englewood Kaybe (The Essential Beachcomber<\/a><\/strong>), the \u00a0ultimate shelling guide Captain Brian (Captain Brian On The Water<\/a><\/strong>) and Rhonda (of Shellbelle’s Tiki Hut<\/a><\/strong>). That’s Capt. Brian’s boat anchored in the background. He came by water to the stoop!<\/p>\n

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

Wahoo! Here comes the helicopter for the overhead count and photos!<\/p>\n

Everybody in stoop position!<\/p>\n

The crowd went wild after the chopper passed the second time for a “shellabratory” spin..<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0The organizers did a fabulous job getting this event together. They even gave away free tee shirts for the first several hundred “stoopers” to register. Darn! I was too late!<\/p>\n

\u00a0When I get more scoop on the outcome of the stoop, I’ll share the word. Let’s keep our fingers crossed we make it in the Guinness Book Of World Records. It was a day to remember for\u00a0Shellabration<\/strong>\u00a02012<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n
