Some friends and I took the smaller boat, Bad Dog, on the shell and snorkel cruise. It’s a three hour tour, no pun intended, and and excellent value. Captain Tim was so knowledgeable about the area and animals. We saw dolphins just a few feet from our boat, which was cool. But THEN we went to the shell island where we were able to snorkel for sand dollars and other shells. And I mean FULL SAND DOLLARS! It was so freaking cool. If you’re a shell geek like my friend Jen, you have to do this. I literally thought she was going to cry. I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to snorkel in March, and the water was a bit chilly but not terrible. Then we got hammered and the Sea Dog Brewery while listening to some great life music. I even danced with a local realtor. All in all, an amazing day. We will definitely be back next time we’re in TI.
