I loved your post and had to share :)<br /><br />As far as piratical interaction with turtles in general and sea turtles in particular, Benerson Little deals with the subject in detail in his books The Buccaneer's Realm and The Sea Rover's Practice. I can't recommend Mr. Little's books enough on this and any subject related to New World piracy. A link to his website is also on the sidebar.<br /><br />Take care and keep up the great work at HG!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-21878602932449556322012-12-12T10:00:31.360-09:002012-12-12T10:00:31.360-09:00Hey Pauline!
