Phone Calls....

"Sorry no turtle"

It is always exciting when our cell phones ring when we are surveying the beach at night. I always want to hear: "Got one" or "I found a turtle and she is new" But for the last few nights the first words out of the phone are "No turtle"
Even though this should be the peak of the season, there just haven't been any turtles in the last couple of days. The green turtles should start nesting in the next few days though. We watched two of them mating (another one nearby was very interested in joining too) very close to shore this morning. We are expecting this to be a very good green turtle nesting season.

Maybe tonight the phone will ring and Kelly will say "Got one, and it is Aries!" That would be cool!
