Greetings to all. I am new to the online world of shell enthusiasts. I have been a marine environment enthusiast all of my life. Grew up in SoCal in the 40's and 50's. I began collecting in earnest about ten years ago and am now enjoying the challenge of collecting photographically molluscs in their native habitat. I enjoy swapping stories. I read with interest the article in the June 97 issue of COA magazine authored by Gene Everson. How can I contact Brian and Mary Bailey in the Solomon Is to rent some time on their boat Wyuna? Help would be appreciated. Jusrt returned from a trip to the BVI with some great photos of LARGE Charonia variegata on lush grass.
