There are days when you totally know you’re in the right place at the right time. Since returning from my shelling trip to Eleuthera, after a few days I finally checked my iLoveShelling Facebook page to find to see what I missed on our local beaches. Omigosh I got this wonderful post from Todd Schwartz….
Vroom… Vroom… I hopped in the car to check it out. Yes! The shells were still there and only 3 people were sifting through the pile. (The waves can take the shells back to the sea as quickly as they come in so I had no idea if they would still be there since it was the day before when Todd posted)
So I dove right in to shelling when this guy in the blue shirt looks at me … “Are you Pam?” hahaha “Uhhh yea”. It was Todd!
He was back again and just had found a gorgeous GAUDY NATICA.
I turned around and Annie found this perfect ZIGZAG FLAT SCALLOP.
Just as I was about to leave, this empty LIGHTNING WHELK rolled up in the waves. It was a pretty special moment because Sue and I sorta found it together (long story). It was one of those mornings that the 4 of us were in the right place at the right time.
Thank you for posting that photo so I didn’t miss this awesome day.
There’s still room on our iLoveShelling Adventure cruise to Big Hickory on the Sight Sea-R tomorrow… so join us! CLICK HERE for all upcoming trips.
Great finds everyone!
As always, I wish I was there instead of behind my desk at work. haha
Hey Pam-Has anyone had problems with your posts jumping while they are reading them? Right now I can hardly read this because the page is constantly moving up and down. It started about 2 posts ago. Let me know if anyone else has stated this or if it is just me. Thanks.
Oh. Nooooo!!! I’m trying to work on it. Ugh
Hi Pam
The shell-luckett-ladies will be at castaways Jan 10-13.
Is the red tide still around?
Pam, I have a Question?
Do you have any more iloveshelling.com hats that you were selling on special in Nov? I would really like to purchase one ;-)
p.s. want to be in the right place @ the right time too…on the beach, shelling!
I just got back from my second trip to Florida…I sure didn’t want to come home. I had a great day of shelling at Fort Myers Beach…I finally got to Santibel with friends…I found a ton of various scallops, but not much else…oh, a few Rose Pedals too…love them. I was glad to see Santibel and next trip I hope to stay there.
I am having the same problem with the screen jumping. It started about the same time as the lady (Susan Riley) above that commented on it. It makes it almost impossible to enjoy reading this and I LOVE these posts. I really hope there is something that can be done about it.
HI Pam, I see the dedge/net things they are using to scoop shells by the water line. Where can I get one of those and does it fit in a suitcase?
Pam,
I have a question for you. I’m on the island now. Where can I find the cool shelling basket Clark uses to snatch shells out of the water?
Hi Tara, you can normally find them at Bailey’s, Ace hardware, Whitney’s, the surf shop
At Jerry’s. Have fun and good luck!
I’m so sorry Pam! I have another question for you. I bought the coolest shell sifter tonight. I’m so excited to use it tomorrow. However, now I am wondering how in the world I am going to get it back to Indiana. How does Clark fly with his? Is it collapsible? Mine is not. 😞 If I can’t fly with it, I guess I will have to gift it to someone here. Do you know of someone that would like it? We come to Sanibel once a year. I can’t see having it shipped back and forth every time. I’m sorry for taking up your valuable time. Thank you!
