Well, last night I was out once again - just try to keep me away from the beach! I had a nice night out there chatting with people most of the night and enjoying the light breeze off the ocean. I encountered a nesting leatherback at about 1am on Juno Beach in front of one of the condominiums south of Loggerhead Park. The turtle was Lucy and she has been here a few times already this season. I imagine this will be her last nest before she heads up north for the rest of the summer.
There was also another turtle that nested on the south end of the beach, but as usual they both nested at the same time and I did not get to see which turtle it was. Oh well!
Back out there tonight and will post more in the AM.

Hi Chris!
I was the woman that was out on the beach around 6:30 am. after you had spotted Lucy the night before (Sunday, June 18). I am still beaming about seeing her tracks and talking with you. I found this site because I wanted to learn more about leatherbacks to help me preserve the moment. Thanks for talking with me. Barbara Welsch, Gainesville, Fl.
