Gimme Some Fin
Holy moses, is it seriously March already?! We have another busy month ahead of us with Daveys birthday fast approaching and the arrival of his parents for a nice long stay...so much to look forward to this month! If its anything like February we better not blink or we're gonna miss it! So without further ado, here is more of our last month in review!
The surf was up in Feb and we spent most of our free days in the ocean, falling in love with our new board!

The sunny coast is one of our fav spots in tropical Queensland and every time we are there, we ask ourselves why we don’t go more often?! This time we had the best reason to be there. By day, we were soaking up some rays on the sand and by night we were still chilling in the same spot as dusk fell over the beach.
Spotted at Noosa Main Beach: Kelly Slater...11 time ASP World Surfing Champ crushing the waves??...no, wait it's Kelly Rogers.

We upped the fun factor as the sun began to set, only to discover that what happens in Noosa stays...recorded on the weather camera. Well im sure someone will get a kick out of that one later ;)
After Noosa, we headed further up the coast to Bargara to meet some pretty rad new friends. I mean, how cute are these little dudes?! We watched them dig their way from a hatching nest deep within the sand all the way up to the beach. In the dark of night, they are making the long journey to the sea to get to the East Australian Current. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it.

Whoa! That was so cool! Hey dad! Did you see that? Did you see me? Did you see what I did?
You so totally rock, Squirt! Gimme some fin. |
It’s a super big feat for these tiny squirts and sadly not all of them will make it. But at Mon Reapo the rangers are there to help give each turtle the best chance of making it alive to the great big ocean. They are on their own from there. We lucked out big time and got two see two different species hatching that night, both loggerhead and flatback babes, which are highly protected species that are becoming endangered in recent years. We even learned something new that night: The sex of a turtle is determined by the temperature of the sand in which the eggs are laid!! So if a nest is in a cooler spot of the beach sweet darling girls are born, and if the nest is in a warmer area little dudes emerge from the sand. How cool is that?!
It definitely puts into perspective just how significant our human impact can be on the precious environment. Going green is gorgeous, my friends. If not for any other reason, do it for these little squirts! (NO! Not us, the Turtles!!!)
