Three miles further...

Why is Drexelina three miles further from the Galapagos Islands than she was yesterday? We have no clue. We are sure she is not climbing a volcano, so she might have moved further North around the waters of the Nicoya Peninsula. She doesn’t want to leave yet. At least she is not by herself. There is another turtle, Sundae, who is almost as far behind as Drexelina. Sundae is one mile further than she was yesterday. Our theory today is that they feel protected inside the Park and are scared to leave. However, we think is time to start migrating because there is not enough jellyfish for two turtles there.

Drexelina: if you are worried about your hatchlings, don’t worry, they have probably passed the Galapagos a long time ago. So PLEASE, leave the beach and speed up, you can still win the race!
