quiet week

It seems that the leatherback season is drawing to a close - fast!
We have not seen a leatherback turtle on our survey area for the past five days now. There should be a few more trickling in now, but I think maybe the waves and current over the past few days may be keeping them away. The survey was pretty tough last night as tropical storm Alberto was approaching the west coast of Florida. The wind really picked up at about midnight and there was a drizzle for most of the night. It wasn't much fun out there, but I did get to see a whole bunch of green turtles nesting and mating in the rough surf.
I think that I will be out there for about a week longer before I call it quits for the season.
