On Virginia's Chincoteague Island... by Nevin Martell, Washington Post Sept 2, 2021

"At first, our son, Zephyr, was grumpy and unenthusiastic. Slowly, though, Captain Barry got them excited. There was a stop to do some shelling for materials for their future art projects. Then Zephyr plucked periwinkles from marsh grasses and watched them unfurl, looking like alien snails. They got to touch a beached jellyfish before dragging a net through the water to capture a glistening, flip-flopping mass of minnows. The last stop was a crab trap, where they learned how to hold a blue crab by its rear paddle fins so it couldn’t pinch them. '“That was so fun,” Zephyr gushed as we piled back into the car. “Can we come again next year?' We were all already looking forward to coming back to Chincoteague for more idyllic calm — and another spin around the bay with Captain Barry.” Read the complete article, "On Virginia's Chincoteague Island - all this and ponies, too" by Nevin Martell in the Washington Post
