We leave the boat dock at 7:45 am for our 30 minute ride and may see dolphins on the way.  We leave the island at noon to return.   Take your own snacks, water and shelling bag.  There are no bathrooms on the island.  Cost is $48.  Email Susi Butler at  jbutler895@aol.com for more info and to signup by February 12.
