Yup, that’s what happened while I was off my board, snorkeling!  After the storm of yesterday, the conditions this morning were perfect.  I decided to take along my mask and snorkel, just in case it was clear down at the boat ramp.  The paddle down was very enjoyable and the ocean was glassy.  When I got down to the boat ramp, the water was not as clear as yesterday, but I finally found an area that was quite clear.  I don’t know how long I snorkeled, but I was really enjoying the varied colors of the coral.  There were yellow hues, light pink, light orange, blue and even a violet!  I was enjoying two schools of fish I came across, when out of the blue, a turtle was in my face and almost ran into me!  It really startled me and I think the turtle was as shocked as I was.  It quickly dove down and avoided a collision!  What an experience.  I really like this paddle – snorkeling, and it makes the paddle back so much cooler after being in the water!
