Turtles are such amazing creatures. I’d love to witness a laying.

Wandering the beach after dark, the mothers would emerge from the sea like huge boulders (often up to 5 ft. long and 500 lbs!), then slowly make their way up the beach, laboriously dig a nest and lay their (ping pong ball sized) eggs.

Once, as I sat barefoot in shorts on a dune watching the moms emerge from the surf in the moonlight, suddenly the sand erupted next to my thigh and… a bitty turtle hatchling clamored out of the sand!

Clearly you must step carefully along the beach when these magnificent creatures are nesting, and yes, many life lessons to be learned – both from the tenacity of the wee ones, as well as the moms who labor so in the moonlit sand.

Thanks for the walk-down-memory-lane, Talon. Especially love your John Burroughs quote: “Leap, and the net will appear.”

Truly.

We’re lucky that way in Cozumel. There are NO lights on that side of the island, and the mamas make their nests next to berms, so they naturally head the other way.

Makes sense about the lights. That’s good info to know.
