James Cordy leads the Astronaut Trail Shell Club Eleuthera trips. He knows the territory well. A master conchologist, Jim discovered two new species of marine snails on Eleuthera: Volvarina jimcordyi and Volvarina cordyorum. He has been shelling on Eleuthera since 1992 and has visited the island over forty times. Jim knows where the good beaches are and how to get there, which isn’t always easy or obvious. He will plan the daily itinerary based on tides and weather conditions and wind direction.
