    Day 12:

    “We have a winner! Backspacer has finally crossed the finish line through the Windward Islands, between St. Vincent and St. Lucia. Who will be next? Nueva Esperanza seems to be picking up speed. Estéban almost crossed the finish line, but he bounced back and did a loop. Seabiscuit is very close to the finish line off Suriname and French Guiana. Lindblad the Explorer, on the other hand, seems to have stopped in her tracks.”

    yay!

    Way to go Backspacer!!!

    This is a great cause and I'm grateful that awareness was raised.

    Eddie: I don't know whose idea it was but it was turned down.

    Day 13:

    "Estéban, Nueva Esperanza, and Seabiscuit all crossed into the Caribbean in a photo finish! But it looks like it was Seabiscuit by a beak length with Estéban and Nueva Esperanza tying for third place. Estéban crossed into the Caribbean, and it looks like Wawa Bear has decided to come in and nest on the beach in French Guiana. Grembo and Searcher are still hanging around in the eastern Atlantic. Nightswimmer seems to be headed straight back north."

    Day 14:

    "Wawa Bear made it just under the wire! She joins Seabiscuit in the winners’ circle just off the coast of Suriname and French Guiana as the final turtle to complete this year’s race. All the turtles were tagged off Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in July 2008. They began their migrations in September, and the data used to create the race were collected through the beginning of March. The real duration of the migrations was four to six months, but we condensed it down to two weeks for the Great Turtle Race. What we’ve learned will help protect these endangered turtles and their offspring."
