When a big dark shadow moved ashore and climbed up the beach, we became very emotional and did not take our eyes off this huge leatherback turtle until it had laid all its eggs.
When the alarm clock went off at 2am in a quiet night on the shore of the Marowijne River, it seemed strange to actually wake up and go out. But as soon as I remembered that we were supposed to see leatherback turtles lay eggs, I got an energy boost that was better than the cup of tea that was being served. We cautiously walked to the beach where our boat was ready to leave. Fortunately, a full moon was visible through some scattered clouds, where just a few hours before rain had been pouring down. We could see the contours of the coast while going up north, towards to ocean. The egg-laying season was nearing its end, so we were a little worried about not seeing any turtles that night.
