Sunday July 21 Nest 24

The Sunday walkers found a nice crawl above Marker 8. The turtle came up to the dune, tried to
climb it, failed and moved along the foot of the sheared dune for 25 feet and made a body pit and then returned to the ocean. But the eggs were not in that lovely body pit!! Leslie, Sharon and Lorna persisted after Paulette had given up-eggs found-very deep in soft sand ten feet away from that body pit!! Nest 24 is in the books!! What a year!!
