Cass is just…not in a hurry. She’s left the nesting beaches of the Caribbean behind, so we are assuming she’s not nesting this year. But she still hasn’t gone very far. We remain unsure of why she chose to meander quite as much as she did over the past six weeks. It is not what we typically see female leatherbacks doing. This makes me imagine her as that kid in elementary school who was always a bit behind the group on field trips—looking up at the clouds beyond the buildings as we traipsed along the sidewalk or gazing a little longer at the museum exhibits than the rest of us.
