There was only one turtle last night and she was another tiny one! Sara spotted her coming out of the water at 10:30 in front of Ocean Mall and said that she thought it is was just a really black loggerhead. It turned out to be a new leatherback! Jim Richardson, a photographer for National Geographic, was there photographing light pollution in Singer Island and named the turtle after his wife Kathy.
The seas were pretty rough the rest of the night and the water was coming up to the dune in most parts of the beach. Chris and Jim ended up getting stuck on Singer Island and Sara went to go rescue them around 2 am. Hopefully we didn't lose too many nests with the big swell.
