Since my time in Southeast Asia and summer school in Florida, where "turtle patrol"* was part of the curriculum, I have fascinated by sea turtles. This morning I came accross an interesting article about a
leatherback turtle that set out on a
voyage of monumental proportions.

* we were in southwest Florida during
loggerhead turtle nesting season. Teams of 2 each were given an area to walk and look for nesting females. My partner and I were lucky enough to see a female lay over 100 eggs.
