The world according to me....

Meeting on the road just outside of the Camp Lejeune marine base, Wendy and I switched an injured loggerhead turtle from my truck to her truck. I think Wendy has spent more time driving to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on Topsail Island than she has at her house this past week. This is a reflection of all the activities associated with injured and rehabilitated turtles that have been going on recently. This particular turtle had been picked up by Lisa Goshe during a regular visit to poundnets in Core Sound. Lisa noticed several injuries on the turtle's shoulder and realized that it needed rehabilitation. She brought it back from Cedar Island to Pivers Island, and then I took it from Pivers Island to the back gate of Camp Lejeune. Wendy, who was on Topsail Island, drove up to meet me and took the turtle from Camp Lejeune to the Topsail Turtle Hospital. Just another day on the job!
