Back in Town

Well, things have been pretty slow around here lately. No turtle patrol since the island is the only place where they nest year-round and the season is over here. I got assigned to my own project, which is to research, design, and build a new hatchery on the island for next year. It's been fun working on figuring that out, but also a little frustrating since the power goes out a few times a day. On Saturday night it went about 6:00 and didn't come back on until noon yesterday.

I think though that things will start picking up again this week. We're going to be out capturing turtles again, and starting Tuesday we'll be looking for Hawksbills, which are more rare and supposedly prettier than Greens. The thing is they're not attracted to fish guts as bait, so we'll be diving with tanks to go find them! I'll let you all know how it goes when I get back tomorrow night.
