Tammy and Tessie

Tammy and Tessy are characters in a book by Suzanne Tate In the book, Tammy and Tessie emerge from their nest together and begin their long life at sea. When Tammy finally emerged from the sea as an adult to lay eggs, she was suprised to find her sister Tessie also nesting on the same stretch of beach! Kelly and I often see Loggerheads nesting side by side (almost holding each others flippers) We call these "Tammy and Tessie events" Sometimes even Leatherback turtles do it!
Tonight Kelly and I just missed finding our turtle Musca nesting but we did find another turtle nesting in almost the same exact location. I called Kelly this morning after decoding the satellite data to tell her "we found Tessie, but we missed Tammy" Maybe next time.... Check out the audio post below.
