On her usual afternoon walk on the south end of the beach, Karen Sewell noticed what she thought looked like a nest about halfway between the old pier and Privateer. There were no visible crawls as they had been washed away by the high tide. She sent some photos of her find to Terry Fansler who then asked Sandy MacCoss and Jane Magioncalds to check it out. They headed for the beach after contacting Karen who decided to join them. It was a good thing she did because the body pit she had reported was hard to find. They probed the area extensively but had no luck and were about to call it a day. Jane decided to give it one more try before they left and she found nest 43! Rumor has it that Karen performed her patented "found the nest" dance to celebrate the occasion.

Rick and Francie Segal sent in a photo of what they thought might be a turtle crawl in front of the Camp St. Christopher cross. The area was probed by Valerie and Mark Doane and they found the eggs. Nest 44 was relocated 30 yards north of the boat shed. There were 118 eggs, 7 of which were found broken inside the nest. It took some keen eyes to spot this crawl, good job Rick and Francie.
