Checked one more off the 'ol bucket list
« on: August 06, 2013, 10:33:09 pm »
This spring I saw for the first time a leatherback sea turtle.  It was incredible.  If you don't know anything about them, google it!  They're absolutely insane creatures as far habits, and longevity.  These are critically endangered!  Since that sighting I figured I was the luckiest man in the world and that I would probably never see another one again.  Boy was a wrong!  Today I saw 5 and had the pleasure of sharing the cool clear waters of the Atlantic with 3 of them.

Below is a link to my facebook page that has a video of my experience.  Watch in HD and let it buffer.  I promise it's worth the wait.

Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!
