Title: Checked one more off the 'ol bucket list
Post by: PrimitiveTim 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 (http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/6494/0)!  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.
