Spent the month of May on Sanibel Island with Pim. Was a pretty good time, but the water wasn't as clear as I would have liked it. Storms blew lots of seaweed in as well as got the water pretty disturbed. So no snorkeling again this year.

Yeah, I know. Taking a vacation from being retired. Just doesn't seem right.....

Anyway, here are a couple of videos I took using a drone. Flew over to the light house which was about a mile from where we were staying, then back up the beach to about a mile west of us.




 
I remember going to Sanibel in the 60's. You had to get there by ferry. It sticks in my mind for the amazing amount of shells and starfish. I also caught a coachwhip on the beach there around 2010.
 
Out of the month, there were only about 5 days where shell collecting was really good. At first I thought we were going to get skunked. But those 5 days were REALLY good for collecting decent shells.
