We did not get the chance to witness a nesting turtle or emerging hatchlings on our night walk but it sure was a beautiful evening to be walking the beach. We also got to witness the comet that is said to not be seen for another 7,000 years! The following morning we only found two false crawls. No new nests were recorded. However, our turtle patrol had the opportunity to witness nest 9 boil! This was the nest I checked on twice, near the inlet, for signs of emergence. It is rare to get to seem them leaving early in the morning. I have included the video below for you to see! It is such an incredible sight. In total, three nests emerged and the hatchlings made their way to the ocean. Good luck little ones!
