Well, at least I hope she is! This morning on my final pass at 5am, I saw a leatherback. She slipped into into the water before I could get close to her. Bummed out that I missed one, I walked up the beach to find a "false crawl", a non nesting emergence!
Sometimes a leatherback will crawl out onto the beach and decide something is not quite right, turn around and head back to the water. Leatherbacks do not do this as often as other species, but I was glad she did. I knew she would be back on the beach somewhere soon. I spent another 2 hours riding around looking for her but had no luck. She will probably be back tonight if she is not on the beach somewhere right now. If you find her today, please call me!
