This morning off of Seacrest Beach, High Pointe. 1 was small and the other was friggin huge :shock: . I tried to swim out to it. My peeps on shore said the turtle would always keep me about 15 feet ways. Guess turtles don't like Otters :idontno: . I didn't want to touch him. Just trying to get a look see. :cool:

I've only ever seen deceased ones here--one just last week, a recent death, with blood on the carapace.

kathydwellsDarlene is my middle name, not my nicknameLacey's Spring, Alabama13,303 postsJoined View profileMessageDarlene is my middle name, not my nicknameWhat a wonderful picture this is!!! Did you take it? Year before last while at Seagrove Beach I was sitting at the edge of the water and my son was out in the water in front of me. I saw something swimming down the beach toward him. I got up and ran into the water because well..you know..I thought about the sharks. As I was approaching my son...the something was there about to touch my leg. I looked down and it was a HUGE beautiful turtle. We were all so excited to be that close to one. It made my week at the beach!!!
