In the early hours of this morning, Red Rockette nested on a beach in Colombia called Bobalito, near the community of Necoclí.

This is the part where we feel like kids waiting for a birthday. When will the turtles nest? Today? Tomorrow? Three weeks from now?

Here are recent positions for Inspire and Red Rockette. They are hovering just offshore.

Another one of our leatherbacks is closing in on a nesting beach! Red Rockette is just off the coast of the Panama—Colombia border.

Here is Inspire's track. The first map shows her whole trek from Canadian waters down to the nesting area. The second and third maps zoom in on her track off Dominican Republic.

We were up late last night. Inspire is within a few kilometers of land, deep in Bahia de Samana, a bay on the northeast side of Dominican Republic. Maybe, just maybe, she’s heading in to nest.
