I love turtles.
Sadly, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center doesn’t open until June which means this weekend while we’re in that neck of the woods we’ll just have to plop ourselves on the sand and hope for a spotting while we plan a return trip for a night walk later in the summer.
Blah blah blah. I know. I gets me through the day.

I had no idea they nested in Georgia!
One of my favorite moments in Trinidad was taking a demon hell ride at night through a dense forest to witness Leatherback turtles nesting.

If you’re in the neighborhood again, we’re going to try to open (at least in part) on Memorial Day Weekend. We’ll be completely open in time for the Grand Opening Celebration on June 16 (World Sea Turtle Day).
Until then, you can check out what’s going on with our current patients at: GSTC.blogspot.com.
We look forward to seeing you soon,
Dr. Bill Irwin, Director
