On pins and needles Carol! Everytime she "slows" or makes a turn my stomach turns!

Maybe she changed her mind and is heading back to Klein Bonaire (just kidding). Well hopefully she will get her bearings soon and begin to head where she is going.

Reading these threads about the turtles is amazing. My wife and I were lucky enough to see 3 of them while snorkeling No Name 2 years ago. Watched them for about a half hour, couldn't be anymore beautiful. Looking at this map of their travels I can't help but think of the scene from Nemo when the turtles were "surfing" the currents.....too funny!!!!!

Regarding the question of how deep Schillie is: no, you cannot tell how deep the turtle is via the transmitted signal -- the transmitter only sends at the surface. Adult Hawksbills can dive to depths of 200 meters.

I noticed in Bonaire reporter that Nautila's little turtlets all made it to the water safely.

Looks like Schillie is a better navigator than Nautila and hopefully will continue on a safer passage.

Andy, again, truly amazing

Cynde, you are right! Mother Nature and her critters have it "all over us humans"....by a long shot! Isn't it simply amazing to watch this all unfold right before our eyes? Can you imagine being PAID to watch and experience and be directly involved with this type of work/experiment??? I'm ready!!! LOL. Carole

While I have no first-hand knowledge of either the Navidad Banks and Mona Island, I would assume that both have sponges. Sponges are the preferred food of Hawksbills.

OK....I'm ready to settle in right THERE, Andrew!! LOL. It's absolutely gorgeous there. I can imagine how a turtle would love nesting there, too. Gorgeous! Carole

Robert is the Project Director for STCB and sends me, as well as many others, almost daily emails containing the tracking info. I have been posting them here.

Schillie has great taste in choosing a home! Bonaire and Monito....very nice, indeed. Sounds like she will have a lot of wonderful "turtle" company where she is right now. She has earned a terrific meal, too! Thanks again, Andy. Carole
