This morning I saw another baby turtle making its way to the ocean.
It is really amazing that they are able to make it against all odds.
My video making actions is still a struggle, but it is very hard to record those little guys. They move faster than they look, plus I am trying not to get too close to them, and had just taken a fall.
It was 6am, still dark and all of a sudden I spot this little guy going towards the sand bar the tides created. I realized he would fall, which he did and landed on his back. I fell as I stepped on the sand bank to go down to him. By the time I got up he had turned himself over and was on his way.
All is well that ends well!
So beautiful and it was therapeutic. Thanks for sharing. I was a but startled when the waves hit.

Hooray! It’s amazing to think how they just know instinctively to head to the ocean. And it’s also inspiring to think that this very turtle you witnessed could live into the next century and potentially beyond!

Hi Ab,
I know, that is amazing. I saw a few more, and even after falling up side down, they would get up and know to head to the ocean.
Their persistence and commitment is inspiring.
Blessings!

So determined. We found a turtle nest on the beach where we were vactioning and the group that preserves the nests came and cordoned it off to keep people away. We take our turtles seriously in NC!

Hi Noelle,
It is so great to hear that NC takes turtles very seriously!! ♥♥
They are so fragile as babies, that I feel we really need to protect them or they may eventually be gone.
Blessings!

Yesterday I got my walk short to make sure that a dozen babies made to the ocean.
I feel it is my duty if I see them, to protect them.
