still here

just to let everyone know, we haven't fallen off the face of the Earth! we've just been taking a few days to recuperate (and some of us are switching back over to daytime schedule). we had a celebratory evening on Wednesday - complete with champagne and a toast to a fantastic season. since then we've been catching up on paperwork, our other jobs, and sleep. there have only been a couple of leatherback nests in our area, as far as I know. soon we will be posting the season summary as well as updates on our little satellite turtle - as of this morning, she still appears to be transmitting off the coast of Charleston and has been hanging around there the past few days. we're going strong on our Name the Leatherback Contest - several more entries and donations have come in. Thanks to the Goodwins who contributed quite a list for us! we appreciate all the support. nests are beginning to hatch more frequently now, and we'll be able to check on the success of all of our leatherback girls. we should be posting regularly through the rest of the summer, so please do check back in....
