Gulf of Mexico in August

The Gulf of Mexico was strongly blowing this August when we arrived, looking for a quiet swim and a few shells.  A strong wind from the south should have told us that storms were on the way, but we just enjoyed the beautiful day.

The storms finally came through that first night...

The next morning - beautiful blue skies, calmer seas, and lots of seaweed.

 Time to relax in Captiva Island...

collect some sea shells...

enjoy a few sunsets...

before saying goodbye and heading back to the "east" coast!
