Shark attacks, fishing lines, hooks, and other perils of the sea landed these sea turtles in the Port Aransas Animal Rehabilitation Keep. After various treatments, lots of rest, and nourishment, the ARK released 5 loggerhead turtles back into the gulf at Marker 35 on Saturday. They flipper-crawled, without much hesitation, to the surf, dove down to the next sandbar and swam out to sea. Good luck friends.
Nice but bumpy paddle to the jetty yesterday…just missed the big wind. Kayakers were entertained by several dolphin just before I paddled to the tip. And downwinder paddle to a shell beach off the ship channel a few days earlier was also pretty sweet.
The fish are out, they’re big, but high tides makes the hooking tricky. We paddled down Island Mooring’s Piper Channel to Marker 15 and got a ride back.
