Turtles

We are still in Bonaire - we have been having alot of fun and doing alot of snorkeling. We have met some really nice people. Red, on Katana, volunteers for the Turtle Conversancy and she was able to set up a trip for 3 of us cruising ladies to go with the head guy, to see if a nest was ready. We walked all around the island looking for nests and found one that was ready. We dug down and uncovered the babies. So exciting - they were just waking up. We got them started on their way to the sea. When they would go the wrong way or flip on their backs we would pick them up and help them. When they get to the coral it is very difficult for them - they pile up on one another and flip upside down - again we would help them. Then when they reach the surf line - they really get flipped around. We counted 148 babies - it was one of the most exciting things I have ever done.
