Any kind of light distracts the turtles, so bring a tripod for your camera, and maybe a beach chair, and get ready for a fascinating 3 hours! Have fun!

That made me sad but at least the babies will have a better chance of survivial that way. Thanks for sharing, that was really interesting. I will try to send you a real email this weekend. miss you!
