Captiva to Cayo Costa

We're leaving this morning on a rising tide to anchor for 3 nights at Cayo Costa.

A big storm came through Monday night, so Tuesday morning I went to the beach at low tide (the crack of 8:30 am) to do some shelling.  There were lots of tiny scallops but I haven't found any intact sand dollars yet. 

There were 5 or 6 manatees cavorting in the marina.  We've never seen that many at once. Sometimes they would lift their heads out of the water and touch noses :-)
