this last set of high tides and and stormy weather has bulked up N/B. There is now about 400 plus feet from duneline to the tip about 30 minutes from the 2.7 foot low tide.
Terrapins have a large yolk and dont move much in their eggs so they would just survive quietly until warmer weather triggered their hatching a year later. probably these were laid late so they didn't get the requisite temperature trigger. Our cold July could also contribute to not getting the trigger to hatch. I think that's about right.
I'm struck by how how the tides are in Pleasant Bay. I think we'll see a lot of reinforcement of gabions etc in many places throughout the bay. So warm this morning you could dive for the many scallops! Last piece of Hammatt's hangar pickup up off of Scatteree Landing yesterday.
