Karen Is Free!

We have received great news about Karen, the sea turtle we adopted last December at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island.  Karen was released on April 28, 2012, after the Center determined that her wounds had healed nicely and she was ready to go home!  

A crowd of fans welcomed Karen back to the ocean during the Tybee Island Annual Turtle Trot and watched as she wasted no time in getting into the water.  We wish her the best on her exciting voyage.

The Center was nice enough to send us photos of Karen’s return to the sea.  Go Karen!

Ready, Set . . .
Go Karen!

      LV, We're a little bit biased since we're her parents, but we think Karen is pretty cute. May she have a wonderful life in the sea and enjoy her newfound freedom. Sarah

    What a wonderful sight. Do they have a tracker on her so that they can watch where she goes? Love A

      A, For some reason, Karen was unable to receive a satelite transmitter, so we'll never know how she fares back in the sea. We'll just hope for the best! Sarah
