I don't know about you but when I hear seamen and Phuket and saving an endangered critter, I wonder if this is going to be safe for work?

That turtle must wonder...
When I'm in water they do everything to kill you..
and when I'm a "sitting duck" they throw me into the sea.

I'm pretty sure he came from a sanctuary that got washed away losing half their turtles.

So, do you think that some entrepreneur is selling these cool wave motif "I survived the tsunami" hats down on the beach?

Looks like one of these Thai Seamen is sharing some Thai semen with the turtle.
