Ketawai Turtle
Release
  Robby, our organiser here on Ketawai,
invited us to a very special meeting. Seven buckets containing keen babies were waiting for us (about seventy babies in
all).
    We were each
given a bowl with two turtles to release, we named ours Herbert Beez and Harriet
Neez.
 A thrilled skipper watched them scurrying down the
beach.
     Neck and neck, then Herbie took the
lead (ball of sand on his head) and the caught the
end of a wave.
 Herbie and Harriet both felt the back of the next wave, which left a dollop of sand on Harriet’s
nose.
  Nearly there Harriet.......
    Herbie took the next wave, staggered forward and found he could strike
out.
  Harriet soon
caught up with smooth strokes. We watched as she bobbed up for her first breath.
Relief.
   When all the
yachties had released their pairs the children released the
rest and we all enjoyed the
experience.
     We wish them all the luck in the world.
ALL IN ALL SUCH A JOYFUL
THING TO DO
GREAT FOR US AND FOR THE CHILDREN
TOO |
