We had the first leatherback nest on our survey area on Friday morning so I decided to try my luck last night. The first full night out on the beach is never an easy one! It was really beautiful out there but it was really cold. I took a nap during the 4am hour (we have many names for this period!)
The beach is completely different than it has been in past seasons. The hurricanes that hit the coast north of us really changed the beach dramatically. We will post some images in a few days. I am not sure we will be able to survey our whole section of beach this season. We'll keep you posted.
Back out tonigh!

Congrats on the first night! Be sure to keep an eye out for leprechauns on the beach. You never know who you will see out there as St. Patrick's Day approaches! Perhaps they will be bearing warming beverges . . .
Good luck! Find some turtles tonight
