Oh and it was!  So very perfect, calm ocean and no wind at all.  I paddled down to the boat ramp and when I arrived, only a small catamaran was hanging around in the area and a man on a sup board with his small daughter.  They were watching a turtle near them, so I headed out farther than them to sit.  Just as I stopped to sit down on my board, a turtle popped up ahead of me!  Then one surfaced on my left side, and two surfaced on my right side.  I was just about to say “surrounded”, when two more popped up behind me!  I was totally surrounded by six turtles!  The nice conditions were prevailing so I stayed there and got lost in the turtles.  The man and his daughter paddled away from the area, as did the catamaran,  so I had the place all to myself!  There were so many turtles that I lost count of how many times I got surrounded and how many times I ended up sitting between turtles.  They were either popping up next to me, near me, or swimming down around under my board, it was great!  By the time I had counted about twenty turtles, the man and his daughter returned and came over where I was.  About ten more turtles surfaced, popped up, and swam around us and the man and his daughter were overjoyed!  I stayed around and decided to try to keep an accurate count of the turtles and I believe it was about thirty….a major turtle day!  Finally it came time for me to leave, so I left the turtles with the man and his daughter.  I paddled back in still perfect conditions and no wind!  I couldn’t believe how nice it was.  It stayed nice all the way through my swim too!  The wind didn’t come in until about 11:15 a.m…..but when it did, it roared in.  I was so glad I got so lucky with the wind and turtles today!  What a nice surprise!
