Drama on the High Seas

DRAMA ON THE HIGH SEAS TODAY
This was my first time on a jet ski/wave runner and on the way back from Shell Island, we saw a lot of things floating in the water including a small red bag which we picked up. Then we came upon a half sunken boat and 2 men clinging to it. Another boat was helping them and we helped as well. The bag we brought held the elderly fisherman's medication. We held the wallet while the younger fellow drove down to retrieve the coat with the car keys! We asked what happened and the younger man said they had been out fishing since 3:30 am and they saw a small hole which they were watching. I'm not a boat person, but a hole in a boat is a hole in a boat no matter the size imo. So anyway, the men were rescued and the the Coast Guard came. Very exciting afternoon!

Here's a 1 min video clip

Shorter Days but Nicer Weather

Days are getting shorter but the weather is delightful!

Thursday found this bottom half of the Zigzag Scallop - so pretty!


Here's the same shell with the flat top I found previously

Hobby, Obession, Passion or ??

Since moving to Panama City Beach in 2010, finding shells and taking photos have been my fav pastimes while on the beach. Pretty fun stuff but am I out of control? LOL not yet... I hope!

It was a beautiful weekend so had to get outside and hunt the shell...

Folks often ask what I do with the shells. My answer: I keep a FEW, take pictures of them and give most away. Here are SOME of the FEW I've kept :)
