Well,  it looked like it would be a day without the wind kicking up, but by 11 a.m., it came in.  Fortunately for me, I was able to paddle in perfect conditions and even got my swim in before the wind!  It was a gorgeous morning with sunny skies, calm glassy ocean, and just a few scattered clouds hanging on top of Haleakala.  I enjoyed paddling down to the boat ramp.  I ran across my first turtle just outside of Kam III, and then another one at the boat ramp!  On the way back, I paddled out to the Quiet Zone and enjoyed some peace and tranquility there for a few minutes.  It was hard to come in because it was so perfect! Some mornings are just like that….. no complaints here!
