Scott, Parker, Mia, Mallory, LouAnn, Nat, Susan and Hans
I got really excited when I pulled into the parking lot at Captiva’s Blind Pass because I saw a crowd doing the “Captiva Crouch” at the shoreline. That means there are shells! So I raced down to find out what they had collected. “I found lots of MUREXES and TULIPS” LouAnn said. “I found FIGHTING CONCHS and a FLORIDA CONE!” from Susan. Hans even liked the DOUBLE KITTEN’S PAWS (everybody really love those) and there were lots of them.
Shelling family doing the "Captiva Crouch"
They were finding some good shells! After talking with them, I realized this whole crowd was together and they were all family. Nice, huh? Half of them are from Pittsburg and half from Hilton Head. What a fun way to all get together as a family.
Candy at Blind Pass

I hope Im doing the “Captiva Crouch” this weekend. That a real pretty Horse Conch too. It looks like Christmas :)
I wanna come there……..waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…..cryin’ like a baby here!
And the think our sailboat is hibernating for hurricane season at Sarasota…..so close to ya’ll!
I’m getting the map out to see exactly how far it is to Sanibel…..gotta get to those shells!!
My daughter and I were at the same spot this weekend, however, the best shelling I discovered was over by the big boulders in the dry sand. I spent the afternoon on Saturday digging a huge hole, lots of mini’s. There were a couple of dolphins swimming out a few yards from the shore. And some of the other folks found a live star fish and sand dollar.
Wow Pam another LuAnn! And of course I love your candy corn-:)
