Sun greeted us full force around 7am so we picked up the pace. However, along the way, while checking our marked nests approaching their due dates (60-65 day mark) we saw a couple that were starting to burst w hatchings.
Cool to see, but scorchingly bad timing to head to waves. The first nest, we found 3 hawksbills already on route, one flipped on its back from exhaustion.... We rescued them, pouring some water and supervising the rest of their journey. All of a sudden one trips and... Whered it go? Down the infinite black hole it goes, and carolyn begins to dig frantically, my baby!
"What happened carolyn? ". It fell into the crab hole! (an itty bitty crab hole craftily engineered to perfection) Its all my fault, oh no!! Dig dig dig. 2 feet im,and nothing... Are u sure?
Yes! Dig sommore, and reaching arms length, she feels its head... Cookie cut arpund it and out she goes. Good job mama caro! And mis respetos a los cangrejos! Quite the masterful slide and sliding traps. The turtke bebe regains ita compusure and refocuses on the finishline, into the waves she paddles, and pops her marbleita head out towards us and signals a little thank you w her bitesize flipper. (haha im cheesy today)
We added fresh moist sand on that nest and another two, to keep the illtimed tortuguitas cooled down and entertained (comi out in the heat isna death sentence and we were told not to piggy back them anymore...). I Wish i had someone to cool me down!
Anyways, the day contiued w delightful daily to dos w my turtle family, such as creating the turtle log boards, cinderella cleaning chores, walking around town, and enjoying juanitas miraculous cheesecake under the granted foggy weather weve been pleading for.
it was a coca cola aaahhh kind of day. And with this company, ill make it a double "ahhh"
Now, prepping for midnight shift, buenas noches sshhhhicos.
