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....

This is great! How wonderful that someone would save this creature and be an anonymous good Samaritan. Good news like this needs to spread. Thank you, Frieda.

Nice to read stories like this one, with all the horrid news that is presented, this was a breath of fresh air, thanks Lydi.

The power of rescue even to animals or humans when we are entangled with things or in things is saving lives and and then looking forward to do it all over again. I like the message in this one alot...Thank you for sharing...:)

I think President Bush referred to this type of behavior as "a thousand points of light".
Wonderful to see.

[Frieda P]

That must have been Sr. since Jr never hardly ever said anything that comprehensible, ha...sounds like he deserves those points and more, thanks Scott! ;-)
