Jeffrey and I got up early to watch the sun rise and go see any turtle sightings. Nada.
 |
| No movement of any kind in the hatching grounds |
 |
| Fishing boats headed out to ply the ocean waters |
 |
| Dogs had dug up and eaten all the turtle eggs |
 |
| Lots of broken turtle shells |
 |
| The mama's trail - slide of shell with flipper marks on each side |
 |
The conservatory lady could tell us how the mama turtle had come ashore, started one hole, found too much rock and had began another. After she laid her eggs and left, the dogs came early and ate them all. |
She said that usually they have guards patrolling the area, but they always have a vacation at Christmas time........note to self, do not come during vacations.
The Wilson's walked a long ways down the beach with the conservatory lady hoping to find some live turtle eggs, but to no avail. Jeffrey and I stopped a little early and just enjoyed the morning together and made videos to send to our children.
Our video will show up on January 1, 2025 https://youtube.com/shorts/6cvjTlBiuA4
Jeffrey and I enjoyed the day together. The Wilson's walked miles along the beach, had breakfast and then went home. We stayed for Christmas and enjoyed walking, talking, exploring, and taking pictures. It is a very fun and enjoyable resort to stay in.

| Really great fish and chips - second only to those found in Ireland |
We talked to our children and could tell we were having a different experience
 |
| Day had started to cool down as the sun started to set |
