Before the Sea Life encounter, I kayaked out to the end of the Port Sanibel channel. At the end of the channel I found a flock of the "true Snow Birds" resting on a sand bar.
White Pelicans from way up North here for the Winter. Also, along the way, I noticed this brown Pelican being very idle on an Idle sign.
We had a great Sea Life Encounter. The Temp was about 75 degrees and water warmed up to 68 degrees. A bit breezy about 15 out of the SouthEast. A nice group of folks on board from Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois. Entering San Carlos Bay we stopped to look at our Osprey Nest.
Mom is sitting on the eggs now.. but it won't be long and we will get to see some fuzzy heads sticking up looking around to see what is going on. Continuing our journey we encountered a pod of very active Dolphins near Kitchel Key.
Our adventurers posed for a picture before setting out on the mission to collect creatures in the shallow grass bed at Picnic Island. They found lots of shrimp, and crabs, comb jellys, pipefish, kings crowns, and more. Our deep net drag turned up a beautiful Cowfish, a couple of female Blue Crabs, a File Fish and lots of Pinfish.
