On the island of Bequia there is a private turtle sanctuary who's mission is to improve the survival rate of the sea turtles.
This turtle is an albino and has been in the sanctuary all of it's life about 15 years. The staff told us that this turtle would not have survived in the wild as it's natural camouflage is missing.
These little guys are just a few months old. They were picked up on the beach after they hatched.
They are then kept in tanks for approximatly five years to help insure there survival.
Really nice blog you are doing here, and its very interesting to read about an area we have sailed for three seasons now but getting a completely different take on it all.
