THE STRANDING Observed in distress near Wrightsville Beach.  Initially residents thought the turtle was caught on something and called turtle hauler Nancy Fahey for help.  With the help of  friend in the water (Peggy Spalleck) and Nancy in a  borrowed kayak, they were able to paddle out to the turtle. "Lagoon" surfaced between them.  They each took a side and propelled the turtle into shore.

From there is was into a kiddie pool and off the the KBSTRRC.
THE TREATMENT Lagoon needed some TLC with a shot of antibiotic.  She is recovering,

Lagoon comes up for a breath after hanging around under the shower.
