Sleeping Turtle

Sea turtles often crawl up onto isolated beaches on the North Shore. Although I don't have any statistics, I figure you have a 1 in 5 chance of seeing a turtle swimming in the water and maybe a 1 in 10 chance of seeing one resting on the sand. If you are really lucky, you might even see a seal. I saw this turtle just cruising on the sand one afternoon, minding its own business. I don't remember seeing many turtles or seals in the town beaches. Then again, if I was a slow moving critter like a seal or turtle, I'd want to sunbath where the people aren't.
