Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful spring afternoon. So beautiful that it seemed everyone with access to a boat was out on the water. The boat landings and waterways were filled with people enjoying the weather. We decided to take a ride up Penny Creek past The Preserve at Fenwick Plantation. There was not a boat in sight on our entire trip up the creek. Such a peaceful retreat from the busier waterway. It would have been a perfect day for kayaking the creek.
Just across from the mouth of Penny Creek, we saw one of the most amazing sights – at least 100 small turtles were sunbathing on the bank at low tide. One by one, each turtle slid into the creek, first going all the way under water, then poking its head out of the water to look around. Imagine over 100 turtle heads all gathered in one area of a creek. I assume they had recently hatched. I'm interested in learning more about this, so I'll research and post an update on The Preserve blog as soon as I have it. Be sure to check back!
