the creatures we encounter on the sea and beaches

  Hi There Yankee Gurl Down under here ! We found this big boy upside down on the shores of Leeks Beach near Keppel Island . He was washed in with the high tides and must have been there 6 hours . The birds were trying to pick him to death . Luckily me rob and 4 other boaties got him flipped over and righted up so he could           head back to the sea . We encounter this alot , most of them are smaller , this guy was enormous ! and we could not even pick him up to help him . but we kept water on him as he slowly inched his self back to the ocean . Then with a last deep breath he poked his head out of the water as if to say Goodbye and thanks ;)
He was very docile not at all mean towards us . I think also he was so tired from getting himself uprighted . I  had rob take a pic with me to show you just how big this sea turtle was !  Never seen one that big in all my life you could have rode on him lol  we estimated he was at least 90 years old ! from the size of him What a amazing day we had we got to rescue a sea turtle ! Days like these make me happy to be on the sea at the right place and right time !
