Another great day for paddling here on Maui.  The conditions remain perfect with a glassy ocean,  and a slight breeze,  just enough to keep things cool.  I came across my first turtle out by the Whale song buoy, just off of Charlie Young Beach.  It almost swam right into the buoy, it was so funny!  Down at the boat ramp I encountered four other turtles, one smallish one and three quite large ones.  The smaller one was quite friendly, hanging out with me for awhile.  The larger turtles were popping their heads up out of the water and looking at me, and then one by one, they dove down.  I followed one of the turtles out a ways and it didn’t seem to mind me tagging along!  Then I realized  I paddled out as far as the quite zone with the turtle, so I paddled back along that same route.  It was so quiet and peaceful out there,  just the way I like it!
