Saturday:
- After a long day of watching Nest #53 for more early risers, 81 hatchlings boiled out of the nest at about 8:00pm with a large crowd happy to see them in the waning daylight! Team 2 thanks all those who came to help take shifts and to Amy, Marianne and a Villas couple who set up the Shibumi Cave! It was COOL!
- Nest #65 also boiled last night (way past Gary’s bedtime) with 50 hatchlings going straight to the water. We believe the ship’s light out on the horizon was their beacon!
Sunday:
- Nest #53 had some crab activity
- Nest #65 had one more set of hatchling tracks down the runway.
