Waiting for Shredder's release
June 26th - Jet noise. Sunshine. Sand. Waves. And, a rare and critically endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtle named Shredder. :) We spent the early morning hours with the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center and the Stranding Response Team as they released Shredder, a sea turtle recently rehabilitated from a shark bite, back into the ocean.

Once Shredder made it to the water, Kristian and I went into the water to see him off!
