I went to the beach last week. North Padre Island National Seashore. I saw baby Ridley Kemp's Seat Turtles released into the ocean. Away, away! There they go - tiny flailing flippers scurrying down the sand. Run, run, run for 10 seconds, and then stop. Are they waiting to be devoured or are their little bodies just exhausted from covering 1 foot of beach? Then they continue - run, pause, run, pause. They hit the water and off they go into the Gulf.
Into the Gulf where they no doubt met the weather pattern known as Dolly.
I hope they survived.
