Triton's Trumpet

A record length of over 9 inches. I found it walking west on our beach, after the first set of rocks.

Turtle Cove to Blue Hole

This has been the most incredibly beautiful days imaginable for picture perfect water and sky. Of course it comes with no wind and vicious no-see-ums. Lots of winter residents are preparing to leave, so we are all scrambling for last good-byes and adventures.

Happy Tails

You Sneak Sharie - since I'm in charge of pottie breaks before southern expeditions of Happy Trails, Sharie left this expensive roll of TP in the bathroom, with a note on it....".Happy Tails" uhmmmm.

Gordon's Latest Shell Find

We went to Gordon's yesterday and I found this enormous Tulip shell. We were looking for Conchs and I spied this shell, thinking it was a conch. James pulled it out for me, empty, thank goodness. Many of the conch were empty too. My shell collection is over running the table.
Miss Shirley boat is barely there, just a mast with an osprey nest. The beach is still littered with buts and pieces if the boat. Not many Happy Trails people on our Gordon trek, but they did show up for food at Flying Fish.....that shows where their priorities are.

Home Sweet Home

After severe aviation and Airport abuse, two days of it, we made it back to Long Island. Southern air charter was kind enough to squeeze us on Flamingo Airlines, and I do mean squeeze. We had to hold our back packs on our laps.
Plumeria at Orange Hill, Chris took a clipping. We should have a nice tree in no time.
After making sure we had everything, I was in the water taking the cure. Floated around for over an hour, I needed that.
