Two turtles again last night, seems to be a new trend. Chris and I spotted Sara at around 2 am. She was a really pretty turtle that we've seen once before back in April. Around 4 am, we got our second turtle of the night. This one was a new turtle. She was a very fast nester and she was covered in a coat of slime, which makes us wonder where she's been. We decided to name her Aceita. As the new member to this crew, I'm still trying to adjust to the schedule but I'm finding it easier and easier. Running on no sleep is not as bad as it sounds. However, I am still unable to adjust to the bugs, which were very bad last night, but I'm not sure that anyone can adjust to that. Hopefully tonight will go as well as last night, maybe we can get off this two-a-night trend and see a few more turtles!

We are still waiting for data on Sierra, Tina, Mariposa and Pesca, the four turtles that we placed satellite transmitters on last week. We'll keep you posted as soon as we hear something.
