Actually, even seeing one turtle is a treat, but seeing two turtles this morning made my day!  The day started out with a northerly wind which gave me a boost paddling down to the boat ramp.  The sky started out overcast which made the ocean look dark, instead of blue.  That always makes paddling out there seem a bit eery!  As I paddled into Kam II, I spied a turtle floating on the surface, and sat down on my board to take a look.  I tried not to make any sudden moves because I didn’t want to scare it away.  The turtle was swimming in my direction, so I just sat there watching it.  Soon it swam to the side of my board and popped it’s head up and looked at me!  I didn’t move.  Then it swam to the back of my board,  again popped it’s head up, looked at me, and then swam away!  I guess it was just checking me out.  Down at the boat ramp I ran across another turtle, it was a big one.  I was just going to paddle past it, but it popped it’s head out of the water, took one look at me, and dove down and disappeared!  On my way back, I stopped at the quiet zone and appreciated the solitude, and felt grateful for such a wonderful day.
