You are so dedicated, and amazing to go shelling in these extreme conditions I just want you to know your videos bless me more than anyone elses. God bless you sweet lady.
Hi Bonnie! 👋 Agreed! The snow absorbs a lot of sound and I love how quiet the beach becomes! ❤🌊 I've only seen the deer tracks on the beach, I haven't seen the deer yet, but I am always looking! Coyotes too! Glad you had an amazing beach day! Thanks for tuning in Bonnie ✌
Yes! It was heartbreaking that there were so many frozen on and under the water. It was still amazing to find them even if i couldn't pull them up! Total "Moon Swoon" for sure! 😍
Hi Michelle! Thanks for watching! Not brave...100% obsessed! 😂 I can't help myself - I love shelling so much! Thank you so much for tuning in and watching my content. I appreciate the support!
Hi Tina! Thank you 😊 When the ocean gives us all that loot and the next tide threatens to take it all back, we gotta' get out there 🤣🌊✌ Another storm is coming this week! Stay tuned next week for more finds my friend!
I thought about that, but then with the wind and my hands being numb I am sure I would have spilled it all over me. 😆 also...taking the shells from freezing to hot/ warm causes them to fracture, break and crumble. I have some that I didn't acclimate properly that I will show in one of my next videos. It's heartbreaking. 🌊✌
What a treat to watch winter shelling with my coffee this morning - gorgeous!! Oh my gosh - shells frozen in place - such a tease! You ended up with some beautiful treasures. And it looks like we're in for a nor'easter this weekend ... yahoo!!
Hi Kim! Thanks for beaching with me today via the interwebs! :) Yes...so many frozen shells....not even a good kick could break some of them free! Yes! Another storm is due to hit this weekend! As soon as we can dig out we will be beaching! Stay tuned and stay safe! Continue to send pics - I would love to share more in my videos. I also got your email! I will reply back soon! Stay well my friend!!!
Wow! How cool is shelling in lobster traps? Loved those blue horse mussels with barnacles on them! Always an adventure with the Plum Island Sea Crew! Hugs from Virginia!
Hi Karleen! Shell crew - YEAH! :) Yes - that was so super fun and I am looking for another lobster dock to hit! I am hooked for sure! I was bummed that I had to leave a few, but i didn't want to touch the traps too much and get kicked out. Haha. Hugs from PI!
I guess the shells are the reward after the storm! When I lived on the Gulf, we'd go out a day or so after a tropical storm or hurricane. It's amazing how the sea gives up her treasures only after a strong temper tantrum! You are much braver than I, Jaime! I'm not able to tolerate the cold, so I would be frozen to my core. It's July now and very warm this evening, but the sound of the cold wind on your video makes me shiver. Thank you for your tenacity and courage! You're a beaver woman than I am!
Its like being a child and standing out side of a candy store, looking in, and not being able to buy a thing!!🤔😱 Stay warm and be safe. We're gearing up for the next coastal hit later this week. This area can not handle the colder temps or the freezing rain. Stunning snail shells, as always.❤
Hi G.G. Yes! All those frozen shells. Kicking them free wasn't even working! Haha. I am going to try a hammer and screwdriver next time - maybe that will work. It was a tip from another shelling friend! Whoop! Hunker down for this next storm. I hear it's going to be a doozy and then once it's over - report back with any cool finds!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin I wish I could go shelling.😭However, I had spine surgery Xmas week and it's going to be another 6 to 12 months for the fusion and graph to heal. I'll have to live thru your antics and adventures, along with a few others down around Sanibel FLA. I hope everyone is safe during the storm.
@@g.g.armbruster4668 Hi G.G.! Yes...it sure is storming here today! And we are going to try and get out there once we can dig out. Right now the beaches are all closed for safety, but as soon as we can, stay tuned! Also...I wish you a very speedy recovery! I feel your pain, I had back surgery when I was 33 and it takes time to heal up, but you will get back to the beach just like me :) ! Until then I am so glad I can take you with me on my beach adventures!! Rest up so that you can get back out there and share some of your adventures too! ❤💓🌊✌stay well my friend!
Hey Cerena! Thanks for virtual shelling with me! Yes....a beach house on the ocean sounds like a good plan! I live close to the beach but on the beach would be even betta' 😊
I love ❤ how you share the beauty of the Northeast coastal life. Born and raised in Maine, I relate to your videos. there is something magical about watching our coasts go through the four seasons. Summer is glorious but winter beach combing always made me feel more connected to the majesty of the ocean. Since I can no longer walk the beaches like I use to, I can't thank you enough! 🐚
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching! I love shelling, but it's much more fun with shell friends so thank you for coming along! I LOVE MAINE! And yes, I agree, winter shelling is magic and ...less bugs - I totally love less bugs. Let me know if you have any good recommendations for beaches in Maine. I would love to try shelling there and maybe I can do a Plum Island Sea Cabin Road trip video! 😯😍
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin we went camping at Winslow Memorial Park in Freeport most weekends. They have a lovely sand beach and access to the surrounding rocky coastline with tide pools galore. At low tide, I loved to walk beyond the sand beach to the mud flats and watch the clams spit up seawater when walking over their holes.
@@northernsky1506 The rocky coastline in Maine is awesome 👌 👏. I am always looking for a good sea glass beach there. I am sure with all those rocks there has to be one! And yes...one morning on Plum Island I got up to watch the sunrise and there were hundreds and hundreds of baby clams spitting out water. I used a clip in my "Holy Quahogs" video. I love watching nature so much ❤🌊✌
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin Though I've never been, Great Diamond Island is known for its Sea Glass Beach. There is no public beach but the Inn on the island has beach access for it's guests. I don't know if you can still collect shells & seaglass there. I grew up in Portland and found sea glass at other spots such as: Crescent Beach, Old Orchard Beach, Popham Beach, Peaks Island, and Wells Beaches.
Thank you so much for the sea glass tips! I have added those locations to my beach bucket list! I will certainly check them out! Great Diamond Island sounds very interesting to me! Thank you!
Wow I commend you for going out in such weather ! But as you said it’s worth it and it was amazing to see all those frozen big moon snails ! You did get some beautiful ones that day ! So sorry for the seal ! It’s hard to find them like that ! May he/she Rest In Peace ! 😢
Winter shelling is my absolute favorite! Yes - it does make me so sad when I find a deceased seal, but also so super happy when I see babies sometimes playing on the beach :) Thank you so much for coming along on my adventures!
I loved watching this!!! I’m guessing low tide at Sandy Point. Brave lady! I don’t like to leave the house, let alone go shelling when it’s that cold, but this is sooo cool! Thanks for venturing out and sharing with us.
GREAT GUESS!! Yes...once of my favorite places to adventure - the southern tip has so much to explore! I am glad you can join me on the beach! The more the merrier. I am meeting so many wonderful shellers on this channel. Thank you so much for watching and a the support. Another storm tonight! I wonder what treasures will wash up this time!
I loved your shelling after the storm ❤. The blue shells were beautiful and I liked the big black oyster too. Hope you can go out again for shells like that and I would like to buy some if you would let me.
Hi Sherry! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it. We are actually hunkering down for a blizzard that is about to hit tonight. We are supposed to get hurricane winds and 2 feet of snow. More shells should be coming if we can get back out to the beach once we dig out. For some shells, I started an Etsy page about a year ago. I am going to be uploading some storm shells this weekend. Check it out when you can and thanks for the interest! My shop 👉 www.etsy.com/shop/plumislandseacabin
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate the support for my channel :) I don't think CZcams allows me to share pictures, but I'm still figuring it out 😂😀 If you know how I can do it, let me know. If not, I did a SHELL TOUR video that shows a portion of my collection 👉czcams.com/video/gxuq_qL5SbY/video.html and I have pics all over my Instagram if you are on IG follow me here 👉 instagram.com/sea.cabin/ Tahnks for coming along on my virtual shell adventures!
Really fantastic job,and a wonderful beach combing day.I absolutely love plum island and spent many days there when I was younger bird watching.I so wish I could do some beachcombing with you,it really would be a fantastic way to spend some time enjoying the day.
The more the merrier! I love shelling with friends and comparing and sharing finds! That is so cool that you used to adventure here too! There are many birders here now looking for the Snowy Owls. They are beautiful. Did you see the Norther Herrier we spotted at the end of this video? There was a quick clip. So beautiful!
Hi Jaime from AJ and I. We loved virtual shelling with you on a very cold snowy day. Those blue shells are beautiful and such an epic find. AJ, Bertie and I are hitting the beach this afternoon and we're hoping to find some interesting things to put in your parcel that we're sending you. We will have to wrap up as it will be cold on the coast, a sunny 3 degrees Celsius today with a cold wind.
Hello my friends from Scotland! Oh my goodness I am so super excited to see what you send! Shell swaps are my favorite! I am excited that you will all be beaching today! Bundle up - that sounds cold! Make sure Bertie doesn't blow away :) Also - report back in Instagram with pics! I will be eagerly awaiting your finds! Good luck!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin hi, the beach wasn't too bad today weather wise. Didn't find much there. I'm thinking I need to start going further a field to try and find some new things. I did find a couple of interesting things that I'm going to add into the parcel. I found a limpet with so so many barnacles on it, very unusual and a shiny oyster shell that looks like a baseball cap lol. I have a wee project I'm trying out, hopefully it's successful and going to pop that in as a wee surprise 🐚🌊❤
Hello 👋 I am so glad you had good beach weather! And yes...some days we don't find as much, but that makes the good days all the more sweeter and keeps us coming back! ❤️ I am super excited to see what's in the package and curious about the wee project! You are so kind. That you so much my friend!!
You're very brave to go out there when it's so cold. I live in Michigan, it's 4 degrees, and when I look outside I just say "Oh heck No!" LOL. Thanks for another lovely video
Hi Kimberly from Michigan :) Thanks for tuning in! Yes - I totally get that...sometimes I look outside and think that as well, but then I start thinking of all those shells and I start calculating in my head.... 6 degrees divided by thermals + 2 sweatshirts + 1 hat + 1 jacket and optional gloves = a good time 😂 🌊✌
Girl, you are hard core! Lol!! I admire you shelling in cold weather … I can’t imagine shelling in freezing weather. Your poor hands are so red! I would love to see Plum Island sometime. Thank you for taking us on your beach walks. ❤️
Hi Kathy! Thanks for coming along today :) I super appreciate you tuning in and virtual shelling with me. So much more fun with friends! You are so welcome! Another big storm is going to hit this weekend! 😳😀 stay tuned!
Well this is certainly not the first time I have watched this hunt , that blue moon at 4:45 is incredible 😍😍😍😍! I already know you get it unstuck yet I still get anxious watching you get it! Probably safe to say I need counseling 😂😂😂 so many beautiful moons in this hunt! Love them all!
O love those huge blue moon snails ,it's the first time I have seen them..just an idea have you thought about taking a hot water thermos and pouring water on the best shells?
Hi Katrina! The big blue ones are my absolute favorite to find. My favorite color is blue :) Yes - some other shellers have suggested that! The issue is when a shell is frozen you have to bring it back to normal temperatures very slowly or they crack or fragment and fall apart. This happened to a few that I collected - I was totally bummed. I've since discovered a screwdriver works best! Thank you so much for watching!!
Hi Kathy! Yes - all the layers 😂 I am so puffy with layers sometimes I'm surprised I can even move! Haha. We were out there for about an hour in the snow and an hour the next day. Sometimes when there are so many shells like that, it's so hard to leave, but when the weather is that bad you gotta' go. 😳
I have recently found your CZcams channel and enjoying very much! Specially ths video. I have watched other shelling videos and the shells seem a bit boring - most white, pale, brown, orange etc. rarely any color! So I was excited to see all the blue today! I have decided when I have the opportunity to go shelling again , which is rare because I live in land locked Alberta Canada! I am goin to keep my eyes open for blue! I may have to come to your neck of the woods!
Yes! Definitely plan a trip to Plum Island and when you do, let me know - I can tell you about some secret shell spots I frequent. Until then, be well and thanks so much for watching 👀
Not sure that I would have braved the cold, but, my inner soul sure longs to join you on this adventure! We hoped to be on the Gulf of Mexico during this time, but sadly had to change our plans; so, watching your happy and informative videos is a real joy! Thank you so much, for taking us all along with you! Love it!
Hi Mabel! Thank you so much for coming along! That is such a bummer about your trip! I am so glad you are joining me for beach adventures though! The more the merrier! I am glad I can bring you some beach joy even though your trip was cancelled. 🌊🌊✌ Shell well new friend!
Thank you for sharing! I've never seen anything like it! You are very brave to go into the winter weather! Those moon shells and blue shells are awesome!! Storms headed your way again! Stay safe!!
Hi Linda! Yes - it was definitely a BIG score! I love adventure - especially when shells are involved! Yes! Another storm is coming! Stay tuned for more videos next week! Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely loved this video. Love how you incorporated the "how to" and "when" to go snow shelling. It is so important as well to keep Marine staff notified of dead creatures. There were staff last week at my beach (Tybee Island, GA) with a washed up deceased Sea 🐢. Such beautiful finds with my beautiful friend!!
Hello my friend! Thanks for the awesome pictures you shared!!! We have another storm coming this week! Sea turtles make me so sad when I see one washed up, but they are magnificent at the same time. Do you know what kind it was? Send more pics when you can and see you on the beach next week!
Your enthusiasm and knowledge makes your videos so awesome to watch! I like to metal detect so I understand your frustration with the frozen treasure. I feel like it is worse for you because you can actually see the treasure and can't get it. Also my favorite line... "It's 32 degrees, its almost like summer". You know you are from New England when... haha Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much for watching friend! Yes...frozen treasure is the worst! When I was editing, I was laughing at all the disappointed noises and sounds I was making - good times haha. And yes....32 degrees in January is flip flop weather for sure! Thanks for virtual shelling with me! Good luck with your detector finds! I hope you hit a big score next time!
Such beauties! I want to drive there - and I will, even though I am from western NY state - it will be about a 7-8 hour drive, so I am going to have to spend a couple of nights - aww - what torture!!!! Do you ever take people on shelling tours??
Hi Lisa! Yes - if you can plan a trip, the fall is the best time to come! It doesn't get much better than a New England road trip in the fall. Also -- all of the beaches in the refuge on Plum Island open back up in August! If you plan a trip, send me an email to PlumIslandSeaCabin@gmail.com. Thank you so much for watching!!
Hi Vicki! Does neoprene keep your hands warm and is it waterproof? I haven't found any shelling gloves I like yet 🤷♀️ Also...thanks for the comment and thanks so much for watching!
Pardon me if this is a dumb question, could you carry a small thermos of hot water to assist in thawing a shell that is frozen! 😮 you are such a trooper to be out there at all in single digit weather! Hats off to you! You are an amazing sheller! 🐚
Thank you so much for watching! Not a crazy question at all! But...if you put hot water on them, they crack and break. You have to bring them up to temp very slowly to avoid breakage. ✌️🌊❤️
Hi Connie! I am going to try this method next time I go! There is a huge storm coming this weekend so that with the dropping temps, I will certainly have a chance to try it! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Hi Sherry! Not a crazy thought at all - I've even considered it, but then with all the elements, like the wind, I am sure I would spill it on myself and then I would be both cold and wet. A friend of mine suggested a hammer and screwdriver. I may test that next time. Hopefully the shell doesn't break. Sometime water gets in the shell and freezes. Once it expands it breaks the shell and it looks like it exploded! Oh the joys of winter! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Hi Shannon! Yes - 100% for sure! Safety 1st. I always have people on the beach with me. You can see some size 9 Pumas pop in and out on this last video and some people in in a few shots. I actually had 2 people with me on this trip! I always ask if they want to be filmed and in some cases they do and some they don't. Thanks for your concern ❤ We have another big storm due to hit the island this weekend! Stay tuned!
Hi Dave! I am bummed that the weather will be bad tomorrow. I was hoping they would open the gate to the other lots with all the snow melting. Are you local to the Island? If the lots are closed there are other great beaches in the area...Salisbury, Hampton and some really great ones in Gloucester! 🌊✌ Thanks for watching!
@@davepicard4476 Awesome!...be sure to call the refuge or check out their website before the drive. The gates to some lots may be closed and on a rare occasion, they close the refuge. It's good to check before making the drive. I was at Scusset Beach on the Cape a couple months ago. Very beautiful. Looking a for a Cape Beach to find some knobbed or channel whelks. Those are on my beach bicket list. Be safe driving to PI and let me know how you like it! Thanks again for watching! 🌊✌
Hi TutleLily! I tried one test with Polyurethane, but the blue oxidized to orange still. But...this last set of blue storm shells I found, stayed blue. I love it! ❤️ I will give an update in my next video :)
Do you sell any shells? I would love to buy a bag of shells and especially a baby moon shell and a big moon shell, and a cup of purple sand if possible....I want to make a beautiful jar of shells. Thank you one of your favorite fans.
Hi Jennie!! Thank you so much for watching my channel ❤️ I appreciate the support so much! I have an Etsy shop where I have some finds listed, but if there is something else you are looking for, send me an email to plumislandseacabin@gmail.com and I can look for it on my next beach hunt. Here is my shop 👉www.etsy.com/shop/plumislandseacabin Thanks so much again!
Hi Deborah! We moved here 3 years ago and it was the best decision I've ever made ❤️ Thank you so much for watching. Yes...I do sell shells. I am sold it right now, but plan to add some this weekend. My Etsy shop is: www.etsy.com/shop/plumislandseacabin
Hi Anne! Thank you so much for watching! What is a can of devices? Is that like mace or pepper spray? If yes, trust me I am all weaponed up! Weapons in every pocket 😂 and even though they are not on camera all the time, I have friends with me for back up! ❤

If not, I did a SHELL TOUR video that shows a portion of my collection 👉czcams.com/video/gxuq_qL5SbY/video.html and I have pics all over my Instagram if you are on IG follow me here 👉 instagram.com/sea.cabin/ Tahnks for coming along on my virtual shell adventures!
Really fantastic job,and a wonderful beach combing day.I absolutely love plum island and spent many days there when I was younger bird watching.I so wish I could do some beachcombing with you,it really would be a fantastic way to spend some time enjoying the day.
The more the merrier! I love shelling with friends and comparing and sharing finds! That is so cool that you used to adventure here too! There are many birders here now looking for the Snowy Owls. They are beautiful. Did you see the Norther Herrier we spotted at the end of this video? There was a quick clip. So beautiful!
Hi Jaime from AJ and I.
We loved virtual shelling with you on a very cold snowy day. Those blue shells are beautiful and such an epic find. AJ, Bertie and I are hitting the beach this afternoon and we're hoping to find some interesting things to put in your parcel that we're sending you. We will have to wrap up as it will be cold on the coast, a sunny 3 degrees Celsius today with a cold wind.
Hello my friends from Scotland! Oh my goodness I am so super excited to see what you send! Shell swaps are my favorite! I am excited that you will all be beaching today! Bundle up - that sounds cold! Make sure Bertie doesn't blow away :) Also - report back in Instagram with pics! I will be eagerly awaiting your finds! Good luck!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin hi, the beach wasn't too bad today weather wise. Didn't find much there. I'm thinking I need to start going further a field to try and find some new things. I did find a couple of interesting things that I'm going to add into the parcel. I found a limpet with so so many barnacles on it, very unusual and a shiny oyster shell that looks like a baseball cap lol. I have a wee project I'm trying out, hopefully it's successful and going to pop that in as a wee surprise 🐚🌊❤
Hello 👋 I am so glad you had good beach weather! And yes...some days we don't find as much, but that makes the good days all the more sweeter and keeps us coming back! ❤️ I am super excited to see what's in the package and curious about the wee project! You are so kind. That you so much my friend!!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin you're so very welcome
You're very brave to go out there when it's so cold. I live in Michigan, it's 4 degrees, and when I look outside I just say "Oh heck No!" LOL. Thanks for another lovely video
Hi Kimberly from Michigan :) Thanks for tuning in! Yes - I totally get that...sometimes I look outside and think that as well, but then I start thinking of all those shells and I start calculating in my head.... 6 degrees divided by thermals + 2 sweatshirts + 1 hat + 1 jacket and optional gloves = a good time 😂 🌊✌
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin LOL!
@@kimberlyaustin6677 It's simple math really 🤣🤣🤣
Girl, you are hard core! Lol!! I admire you shelling in cold weather … I can’t imagine shelling in freezing weather. Your poor hands are so red! I would love to see Plum Island sometime. Thank you for taking us on your beach walks. ❤️
Hi Kathy! Thanks for coming along today :) I super appreciate you tuning in and virtual shelling with me. So much more fun with friends! You are so welcome! Another big storm is going to hit this weekend! 😳😀 stay tuned!
Well this is certainly not the first time I have watched this hunt , that blue moon at 4:45 is incredible 😍😍😍😍! I already know you get it unstuck yet I still get anxious watching you get it! Probably safe to say I need counseling 😂😂😂 so many beautiful moons in this hunt! Love them all!
Haha! It's always an adventure Sara!
O love those huge blue moon snails ,it's the first time I have seen them..just an idea have you thought about taking a hot water thermos and pouring water on the best shells?
Hi Katrina!
The big blue ones are my absolute favorite to find. My favorite color is blue :) Yes - some other shellers have suggested that! The issue is when a shell is frozen you have to bring it back to normal temperatures very slowly or they crack or fragment and fall apart. This happened to a few that I collected - I was totally bummed. I've since discovered a screwdriver works best! Thank you so much for watching!!
Layering up is the way to go and it can warm you up! How long were you out there to film this video? Love your finds!!
Hi Kathy! Yes - all the layers 😂 I am so puffy with layers sometimes I'm surprised I can even move! Haha. We were out there for about an hour in the snow and an hour the next day. Sometimes when there are so many shells like that, it's so hard to leave, but when the weather is that bad you gotta' go. 😳
I have recently found your CZcams channel and enjoying very much! Specially ths video. I have watched other shelling videos and the shells seem a bit boring - most white, pale, brown, orange etc. rarely any color! So I was excited to see all the blue today! I have decided when I have the opportunity to go shelling again , which is rare because I live in land locked Alberta Canada! I am goin to keep my eyes open for blue! I may have to come to your neck of the woods!
Yes! Definitely plan a trip to Plum Island and when you do, let me know - I can tell you about some secret shell spots I frequent. Until then, be well and thanks so much for watching 👀
Not sure that I would have braved the cold, but, my inner soul sure longs to join you on this adventure! We hoped to be on the Gulf of Mexico during this time, but sadly had to change our plans; so, watching your happy and informative videos is a real joy! Thank you so much, for taking us all along with you! Love it!
Hi Mabel! Thank you so much for coming along! That is such a bummer about your trip! I am so glad you are joining me for beach adventures though! The more the merrier! I am glad I can bring you some beach joy even though your trip was cancelled. 🌊🌊✌ Shell well new friend!
Rip little seal
Thank you for sharing! I've never seen anything like it! You are very brave to go into the winter weather! Those moon shells and blue shells are awesome!! Storms headed your way again! Stay safe!!
Hi Linda! Yes - it was definitely a BIG score! I love adventure - especially when shells are involved! Yes! Another storm is coming! Stay tuned for more videos next week! Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely loved this video. Love how you incorporated the "how to" and "when" to go snow shelling. It is so important as well to keep Marine staff notified of dead creatures. There were staff last week at my beach (Tybee Island, GA) with a washed up deceased Sea 🐢. Such beautiful finds with my beautiful friend!!
Hello my friend! Thanks for the awesome pictures you shared!!! We have another storm coming this week! Sea turtles make me so sad when I see one washed up, but they are magnificent at the same time. Do you know what kind it was? Send more pics when you can and see you on the beach next week!
Your enthusiasm and knowledge makes your videos so awesome to watch! I like to metal detect so I understand your frustration with the frozen treasure. I feel like it is worse for you because you can actually see the treasure and can't get it. Also my favorite line... "It's 32 degrees, its almost like summer". You know you are from New England when... haha Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much for watching friend! Yes...frozen treasure is the worst! When I was editing, I was laughing at all the disappointed noises and sounds I was making - good times haha. And yes....32 degrees in January is flip flop weather for sure! Thanks for virtual shelling with me! Good luck with your detector finds! I hope you hit a big score next time!
Such beauties! I want to drive there - and I will, even though I am from western NY state - it will be about a 7-8 hour drive, so I am going to have to spend a couple of nights - aww - what torture!!!! Do you ever take people on shelling tours??
Hi Lisa! Yes - if you can plan a trip, the fall is the best time to come! It doesn't get much better than a New England road trip in the fall. Also -- all of the beaches in the refuge on Plum Island open back up in August! If you plan a trip, send me an email to PlumIslandSeaCabin@gmail.com. Thank you so much for watching!!
You should get some neoprene gloves!
Hi Vicki!
Does neoprene keep your hands warm and is it waterproof? I haven't found any shelling gloves I like yet 🤷♀️ Also...thanks for the comment and thanks so much for watching!
Pardon me if this is a dumb question, could you carry a small thermos of hot water to assist in thawing a shell that is frozen! 😮 you are such a trooper to be out there at all in single digit weather! Hats off to you! You are an amazing sheller! 🐚
Thank you so much for watching! Not a crazy question at all! But...if you put hot water on them, they crack and break. You have to bring them up to temp very slowly to avoid breakage. ✌️🌊❤️
You need to take a flat head screw driver with you, then you can can pry them or dig around them.
Hi Connie! I am going to try this method next time I go! There is a huge storm coming this weekend so that with the dropping temps, I will certainly have a chance to try it! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Can you bring a thermos of hot water to loosen the frozen ones? Or is that a crazy thought?
Hi Sherry! Not a crazy thought at all - I've even considered it, but then with all the elements, like the wind, I am sure I would spill it on myself and then I would be both cold and wet. A friend of mine suggested a hammer and screwdriver. I may test that next time. Hopefully the shell doesn't break. Sometime water gets in the shell and freezes. Once it expands it breaks the shell and it looks like it exploded! Oh the joys of winter! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Deice
Thanks so much for tuning in Anne!
Please tell me someone knows where you are when you do this. It can be dangerous! Have fun and be safe.
Hi Shannon! Yes - 100% for sure! Safety 1st. I always have people on the beach with me. You can see some size 9 Pumas pop in and out on this last video and some people in in a few shots. I actually had 2 people with me on this trip! I always ask if they want to be filmed and in some cases they do and some they don't. Thanks for your concern ❤ We have another big storm due to hit the island this weekend! Stay tuned!
I am going there sat maybe I will see ya
Hi Dave! I am bummed that the weather will be bad tomorrow. I was hoping they would open the gate to the other lots with all the snow melting. Are you local to the Island? If the lots are closed there are other great beaches in the area...Salisbury, Hampton and some really great ones in Gloucester! 🌊✌ Thanks for watching!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin no I live on the cape it is a hr and 15 min drive
@@davepicard4476 Awesome!...be sure to call the refuge or check out their website before the drive. The gates to some lots may be closed and on a rare occasion, they close the refuge. It's good to check before making the drive. I was at Scusset Beach on the Cape a couple months ago. Very beautiful. Looking a for a Cape Beach to find some knobbed or channel whelks. Those are on my beach bicket list. Be safe driving to PI and let me know how you like it! Thanks again for watching! 🌊✌
Thanks
@@davepicard4476 Good luck! Hope you find a boat load of shells! Be sure to say hello if you see me out there!
If you seal those shells when you get home will the color stay the same?
Hi TutleLily! I tried one test with Polyurethane, but the blue oxidized to orange still. But...this last set of blue storm shells I found, stayed blue. I love it! ❤️ I will give an update in my next video :)
Do you sell any shells? I would love to buy a bag of shells and especially a baby moon shell and a big moon shell, and a cup of purple sand if possible....I want to make a beautiful jar of shells. Thank you one of your favorite fans.
Hi Jennie!! Thank you so much for watching my channel ❤️ I appreciate the support so much! I have an Etsy shop where I have some finds listed, but if there is something else you are looking for, send me an email to plumislandseacabin@gmail.com and I can look for it on my next beach hunt. Here is my shop 👉www.etsy.com/shop/plumislandseacabin
Thanks so much again!
Wish I lived there. Do you ever sell your shells?
Hi Deborah! We moved here 3 years ago and it was the best decision I've ever made ❤️ Thank you so much for watching. Yes...I do sell shells. I am sold it right now, but plan to add some this weekend. My Etsy shop is: www.etsy.com/shop/plumislandseacabin
Carry a can of devices girl
Hi Anne! Thank you so much for watching! What is a can of devices? Is that like mace or pepper spray? If yes, trust me I am all weaponed up! Weapons in every pocket 😂 and even though they are not on camera all the time, I have friends with me for back up! ❤
