A majority of our turtles are observed nesting only a few times each season, but a few of them do nest regularly on our beach. Last night at about 4am I watched a big shiny leatherback crawling from the surf near the Ocean Royale condominiums! It is always exciting to see them crawl out of the water and take the long walk up the beach. This turtle was Eve, the first turtle of the season that we observed on March 20th - ten days ago.
No other turtles were spotted last night. The weather wasn't too pleasant with the wind cranking out of the east at about 15 to 20 mph. Now it is time to shake the salt off and head to bed for the day.
