Bumpy!

Yesterday the conditions were perfect for paddling.  I enjoyed paddling down to the boat ramp where I ran into a paddling friend.  We paddled and chatted for a while and then we saw two big turtles!  The wind didn’t kick up until 11 a.m.

Today was totally different!  Five minutes into paddling,  a South wind kicked up pretty good.  It was a struggle paddling into the wind, and I didn’t have time to sight see!  I was preoccupied with just paddling and staying on my board.  I only got down to Kam III and decided to turn around and paddle with the wind.  The wind never backed down, so I was glad to get back.  Swimming was not as much of a struggle.  The water was pretty clear down by the rocks and I saw quite a few fish.  In fact, lots of baby fish were swimming around looking for food.  I also saw a large” Humu Humu” fish that was chasing the other fish around and being quite mean to a baby puffer fish!  The things I see in the undersea world!   So fun!
