Almost there

            Not all our marine life encounters ot Heron Island occured beneath the surface. Betty and I watched with admiration as this big Loggerhead Sea Turtle finished covering her eggs that she laid during the night. She then began her long, hot trek back to the sea. We could almost feel her relief when she reached the waves to become cool and buoyant once again.
