Turtle launch from St George Island

See hours old turtles launched!! Here we are not less than 24 hours on the Island and we were invited to a sea turtle release. These little guys were found in the nest, unable to get out. So part of the job is to collect the turtles and release them 24 hours later at sundown. Since the turtles use the moon and the beach for when they return in 20-30 years. Well, these little bad boys (and girls) are loggerhead turtles. As many divers know, they grow to many, many times bigger. SO, people watch them wiggle. I didn't know shells could shake like that. See you next time, Chris and Tami Smith
