Nest #9

We had one false crawl of 32” at marker 66 and got soaking wet. As we left the beach we got a call from Southport that two turtles had laid on the River by The Landing. This is unusual but did happen twice two years ago.

We had one nest from a 42” crawl and moved 109 eggs to Marker 66 on our beach. This turtle had climbed into the vegetation and managed to lay a nest in the deep grass. We do not leave nests on the river as they are likely to be inundated by ship’s wakes, also the hatchlings could be swept upriver.  The other tracks were a false crawl of 33”.
