Ahhh....perfection!

The past two days were really different.  Thursday I paddled in windy conditions, yesterday was windy early and overcast and then rained in the afternoon so I didn’t paddle.  Today, however, was perfect as you can see!  Scattered clouds, slight breeze, calm and glassy conditions. Just the way we like it!  Outside of Kam III, I ran into two small turtles floating along.  Then when I got to the boat ramp, up popped two more larger turtles.  Then as I was getting ready to paddle back, I ran across another turtle and this one was really friendly.  It circled my board to check me out, and then popped its head up a few times to look at me!  That went on for a few minutes.  Paddling back was just as nice and so I paddled out to the quiet zone to sit for a bit.  It was so peaceful I just wanted to stay right there!  On my swim I saw quite a few fish, and then ran across a rather large Puffer fish.  I don’t think I have ever seen one this big before!  I hung around looking at it, but it seemed to be annoyed with my presence and was trying to hide amongst the rocks, but it was just too big!  Finally it just swam out to sea and I swam back.  What a great day!
