On the second week in February we went to watch loggerhead turtles hatching, pushing their way to the surface of the sand and crawling into the ocean. The nest location was marked when the mother laid the eggs and when they began hatching wire mesh is put around the area so people don’t step on and squash the babies. When they have all made it to the surface they remove the mesh and they race to the water. Keep in mind these are turtles and I use the term “race” loosely.
