Hi Ken. Best possible from your position. About all else you could do is isolate body parts

Thanks for the comments, we were just glad to see her and her feisty son. She was released into the wild by a friend of ours Dr. Mike Koch.

She had left the island earlier in the year and for the time being had been unable to return due to the depth of water.
