On Friday morning, Jamie and Matt found a crawl in North Myrtle Beach just above 46th Avenue N. This was a big turtle; her track width was 39". There were even a few people on the beach who saw the turtle lay her eggs although there were no photos taken.
The turtles who lay on this beach have lots of obstacles to crawl around.
There were 130 eggs in the nest. One broken egg was found, but the other 129 were packed up and moved to a new location on Waties Island with the help of Bob, Barb and Steve. When you are walking, check the new nest just above the entrance to the beach. It is marked as 1R - NMB.
So there are turtles out there and hopefully they will be visiting our island soon!
