A FALSE CRAWL FOR WATIES ISLAND

While walking this morning, Sunday walkers, Steve Demusz, Linda Mataya, Diane Castrodale and substitutes Paulette Johnson and Susie McClure, discovered a crawl. The sea turtle went right up to the dunes near marker #9. This end of the island has many cliff like dunes this year.

Maybe it was a good thing it wasn't a nest; this didn't look like the best spot along the beach (and a long walk for us volunteers too).

The crawl measured 2 ft 6 inches across. The nest site looked very promising but the probing did not reveal a nest. The last sea turtle activity on Waties was June 1st with a nest between Marker 1 & 2.
