This past Saturday, a hawksbill sea turtle nest was discovered by a member of the Christophe Harbour Security Team in the parking area of the Beach House Restaurant. With a quick call to the Sea Turtle Hotline, the St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network (SKSTMN) first responders were quick to arrive on the scene. Together, the SKSTMN first responders and members of the Christophe Harbour team relocated the nest, containing 118 ping-pong-ball-sized eggs, to a safer location on Turtle Beach. The SKSTMN team will carefully monitor the eggs during the 60 day incubation period and excavate the nest once the hatchlings emerge to determine hatch success.

Terns are nesting at Harbourside, land that Christophe Harbour has created along the perimeter of the harbour. Discovered by a young boy, these nests are an especially exciting find because they are a sign that bird life is returning to the area known as the "Great Salt Pond." Previously, the hyper-saline environment of the salt pond was unable to sustain much life, but since the pond is now flushing with fresh water, new plant and animal life are being discovered. The terns are the newest inhabitants.

These pictures of Terns and their nests were taken by Callen, an elementary aged boy who attends Ross Prep School on St. Kitts. Every year, the school hosts a fundraiser selling calendars, and all of...

Hatching season is here! On Sunday, June 5, Christophe Harbour guests spotted 24 Leatherback turtle tracks heading towards the water on Sandy Bank Bay. The turtle’s nests were discovered, along with a baby turtle struggling to dig itself out of the sand. With a little assistance, the turtle was able to make its way to the water and take its first swim. As of now, 11 turtle nests have been marked and within the month many of the eggs should hatch.

Despite all the odds - gale force winds, intermitent wind, jet lag, and tough Irish links play - Alan Farnsworth nailed a hole-in-one on the first day of the inaugural Great Irish Links Challenge in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland. His prize? An all-expense paid trip to visit Christophe Harbour. Mr. Farnsworth was one of only 2 people to even drive the green on #9 that day, so his hole-in-one was the topic of discussion that evening. This year marked the first for the three-course challenge, and the event was a smashing success with nearly 250 golfers from around the world. Christophe Harbour was the proud sponsor of the opening reception and the hole-in-one prize. Next year's event is planned for May 13-16, 2011. For more information on...
