I cannot hold this news in until tomorrow. Remember Sara, the sea turtle who was intentionally shot through the head by a person (or persons) with unimaginable cruelty last month via a spear gun? She's going home to sea.
Tomorrow, 11am here in the beautiful Florida Keys, The Turtle Hospital will transport Sara to a beach and then immediately be taken to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean where she will then be able to go to sea. Back to her home, right where she belongs.
The perpetrator(s) have not been caught. There is a reward for money and services well over $16,000 for information leading to the capture of the person who shot Sara. Sara's story is available on line at The Turtle Hospital web site www.turtlehospital.org
Sara's story, although rooted in abject cruelty and torture, has turned into an incredible tale of teamwork, courage, compassion and hope.
We're going to watch her release tomorrow. I'll do my best to take a picture for you to see. We're very excited, she's being released close to our home. Maybe someday as I'm out on the water turtle spotting, it will in fact be Sara who I catch a brief glimpse of as she dives and frolics in her beautiful ocean home. Even if its not really her, I will imagine it is.
Keep your fingers crossed for a smooth transport for Sara, the beloved loggerhead sea turtle. She, like all other sea turtles, needs all the good wishes we all can muster.
