                                              Baby Sea Turtles at Gentle Winds


                                 Giant sea turtles nest in St Croix every year--this year quite a few laid their eggs at the Gentle Winds beach

                     After about 10 weeks, the turtles break out of the shells, dig their way out of the sand and head for the ocean
                       ... a few of the hatching turtles get confused by the lights and end up in the pool, so they get rescued by the
                                                                 staff and directed back to the ocean.
