A Turtle’s Tale
posted (January 6, 2020)
A Sailboat captain found himself performing impromptu veterinary surgery on Friday when his crew rescued an approximately loggerhead turtle which was on the brink of suffocation.

The turtle had swallowed a live pufferfish and was chocking on it.

He fought off his surgery at first but eventually allowed for deflation and extraction of the troublesome puffer. We spoke to the Captain, Horace Bladon today about the act of kindness that will forever be imprinted in the minds and hearts of his guests and maybe even one loggerhead turtle.

Horace Bladon is a boat captain at Felicity sailing in San Pedro.
