I LOVE your photos, Bill! Your experience with turtle hatchlings is w-a-y better than mine.
Several years ago in Nuevo Vallarta, we went down to the beach and found hundreds and hundreds of baby sea turtles across a long stretch of sand, and what seemed like a million sea birds picking them off one by one. The beach was littered with dead and dying hatchlings trying to reach the relative safety of the bay. It was a brutal sight. As much as we tried, we couldn't do anything to help. I'd much prefer watching baby turtles safely wiggle over my toes on the way to the sea!
