Sherry and I signed up to walk the East end of OIB during the TURTLE SEASON and report and nests we should find.

On this section of OIB – there are no houses – only sand and surf for about one mile!

A great place to walk – hearing only the surf and some birds.

We walk all the way to the point and a little around it toward the ICW side.

Just before the point, we came upon this sight – a chair with a pair of pants draped over the back – a waterproof shoe in the surf – tackle boxes all open – a battery with jumper cable hooked up –

fishing poles and a pole holder for the poles.

STRANGE – no one around!

And then around the corner out of sight – two fishing poles in their holders – bait on but laying in the sand and no one around except a boat with a man standing on it!

It was a deputy with a badge and he ask me if this was my stuff!

I told him no and around the corner was the chair and tackle boxes and more poles and I held up the shoe and said we found this also.

He told me to just place the shoe by the pole which I did and he got on his walkie-talkie to the police department.

He thanked us and said he would take care of it.

The chair and all the equipment just sitting on the beach and no one was around!

We continued our TURTLE WALK – not seeing any signs and went back to our car!

On the way back two police trucks and an ATV passed us going toward the chair and poles.

Also – our walk time is spent picking up trash off the beach and then report in what we see as far as signs of turtles!

Sherry is about to throw our trash collection away from our TURTLE BEACH PATROL!
