Turtle Serendipity 2

Hi All,

(The previous email included a video which clogged the system-sorry)

On a visit to Washington Oaks State Park we stopped at the beach to see interesting rock formations. There we found a truck from the South Carolina Aquarium with three loggerhead turtles to be released into the ocean. These animals have spent the last year in a rehab center. This spot was chosen since it was the furthest north winter spot with warm enough water.

First the turtles were removed from the truck


carried to the water's edge.

At the water, the turtles took some time to get their bearings

then walked/swam back into the ocean.
An extraordinary experience.

Love,
