Lots of Brown Pelicans seen on the Sunset Cruise!

Considering the cold it was a pretty good trip tonight..always beautiful here.

31 hardy passengers from various states including Indiana, North Carolina, and as far North as Minnesota. But it was chilly for all. A 15MPH wind out of the NW. We went up the Caloosahatchee (river), to help keep the wind to our backs.

Beaching the boat at Big Shell Island, we sat and watched the sunset along with about a dozen brown pelicans sitting nearby on the sandy point of the island Continuing up river, we soon spotted two dolphins and spent some time with them. They would appear, then dissappear many times, but never went very far from the boat. The water here is relatively deep and the air is cold, perhaps they kept warmer staying down a little longer. We turned around at Little Shell Island, which is a subject of interest by itself.
