Sea Turtle Hospital releases Kit and Flip Flop

SURF CITY, NC (WWAY) — It may have been gloomy outside but it was a special day for two turtles in Surf City.

The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center released Kit and Flip Flop Tuesday morning.

The weather didn’t stop a crowd full of people from coming out and cheering the duo on as they made their journey back out to sea.

Kit is a green turtle and Flip Flop is a loggerhead who both made it out easily.

Organizers say the release went smoothly.
