• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

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.
