I saw that on OSJ, too. It's so cool the way she/he was returned to the ocean. Now my only question is: Why would anyone have a salt water pool just steps from the beach????

They aren't ture salt water pools the salt is use to create the disafectant not nearly as salty as the ocean.

Ah,so Turtlegirl you are a turtle love too!I live with one in my house! No it's not mine,it's my wifes!It's a Desert Tortise named Hank.You think she would enjoy all the water turtles that live in our large pond/creek but "NO" we have to have one living with us.

That's o.k.She has to live with me reliving my past vacations on S.T.J.!Parafins........
