Oh turtle, oh turtle...

"Mystery Surfer Saves Drowning Sea Turtle, Then Catches His Next Wave"

Oh turtle, oh turtle, do you know you were spared

by the great white surfer that came to your rescue

took the time to untangle the line that would have

surely been your great demise to the next sea world,

without a thanks you bid adieu, he caught his next wave,

just another day untangled and unfolded & a hero to spare

This is very cool Frieda and I had heard about this. For several years I sponsored a different sea turtle every year in Florida. They had electronic monitoring systems and I could watch on a map online where my turtle was heading. It was very interesting, so needless to say I have a soft spot for sea turtles and I love you beautiful tribute to this hero of the ocean.

That's pretty cool Jack, this human interest story caught my eye, never really thought that much about turtles before. Thanks....

The great white surfer did a splendid job, I lift my hat to that person ! And I'm sure the turtle was appreciative itself !

Ahh this is just gorgeous Freida. Wish there were more people who did things like that! My motto is to free all animals. I hate it when they are caged(except to heal them).
Lovely writing!

We used to go down to the beach in nesting season and watch the babies make their way to the water. This is a wonderful thing that surfer did! Love it! Angi~
