Go go go

Today has been all about finalizing training, and setting us free to patrol unsupervised.
We came back from midnight patrolling, our team split in two, and this night experienced a lot of vegetation nesting (in the jungle, very hard to reach- measure, tag and perform body check), and also many feisty new-to- conservation turtles.

It hasnt rained in a few days so tracking is becoming trickier, and the moonlight is dimishing as well...

During the day we started with
11am - nest practice, which consisted of measuring flagged coordinates and finding our teammates cocunut nest.
2-4am - turtles, tortuguero, and toursim presntation

Then had an awesome one on one with our director who is in town for a few days.
Went to the frog enclosurenopat our friendly neighbor hotel Mawamba
Dinner, and now off to my 8-12am patrol w the director.

So, another 12hrs+ workday.... thinkim getting used to this rythym.... Tonight will be the test as i have another patrol at 6am.

Pura vida.
