Oops.

I guess I forgot to update the log yesterday. Sorry.

On Monday night, I encountered "Kalindi" once again. She did not lay eggs this time either. Her tail has now become quite swollen and she seems to be struggling to lay eggs. I hope that she has not ingested plastic bags the way the turtle "Sara" did last season. Although Sara did eventually lay eggs after plastic was removed, none of them ever developed. We will see if Kalindi comes back to attempt another nest.

Last night was rather pleasant on the beach. There was a bit of a cool front that passed and it created a pretty thunderstorm offshore that kept me entertained for most of the night. As you know from reading these posts over the past few years, I am a bit of a lightning photographer. I probably have 200 lightning images in my library and never tire of shooting thunderstorms!

There was a new turtle encountered last night. I spotted her coming out of the water at about 2am near the marinelife center. She is our third smallest turtle measuring 132 centimeters. That is tiny for a leatherback! She will be named "Bernadette" in honor of a group of elementary school children at St. Bernadette School in Lancaster, Ohio.

I kinda like the one turtle a night trend, but two a night would be more fun!
