During some downtime on the evening of March 23rd a few of us decided to venture back out to Graham’s Harbor. The mesmerizingly blue water was a bit choppy but yet we persisted in the hunt of spotting another green sea turtle, we geared up and headed for the seagrass beds that are couple meters from the beach. Of course had to make a pit stop and enjoy the alluring coral reefs, where we were able to identify some blushing star coral, golfball coral, and several sea fans. We were even able to catch a glimpse of a cushion starfish and a yellow sting ray. Although these sights were captivating, we were out to spot a sea turtle and sure enough our efforts would pay off in the most hilarious way possible. Liz and Ashton were first to notice the young green sea turtle grazing away in a small seagrass patch, and we all observed in awe as we watched this turtle munch away as if we weren’t even there. As I turned to swim away the curious little guy began to follow me but then quickly started to swim towards Rachel. Who was completely oblivious and enjoying the fish until she looked up to a sea turtle trying to lay down some sugar. Rachel instantly screamed, I’m pretty sure the turtle did too, and I’ve never laughed so vigorously in my life.
