Turtles are gathering at Lady Musgrave Island. Breeding and laying season has started, with happy turtle couples getting together around the lagoon, surprising a few curious onlookers from amongst the anchored yachts, with their amorous antics.
Amazing to see the number of lady turtles gathering around in the shallows, waiting patiently for high tide during the night, to drag themselves ashore and unload their precious eggs, burrowing deep into the sand.
We were very lucky to happen upon a perfect day, with no wind, making visibility through the water crystal clear. Who needs to get wet snorkelling, when you can follow turtles around and video them with your phone from the dinghy? A magical day that will remain a fond memory of our voyages for many years to come.
