Turtle Whisperer?

Perfect day at the beach!

With Lanai showing in the distance in this photo I took this morning, you can see what a perfect day it was for the beach!  Just a breeze blowing from the North and calm conditions.  I enjoyed paddling down to the boat ramp, and when I got there I didn’t see any turtles.  I decided to hang around for a while since it was so nice.  All of a sudden, four turtles popped up all around me, at about the same time!  They were like jack in the boxes….. pop, pop, pop and pop!  Two were big turtles and two of them much smaller.  Then turtle #5 popped up over to my right side.  Another guy was paddling over and he asked me “Are you the turtle whisperer?” so I said, “what?”  He told me that this was the third time he had been down here when I was paddling and all three times I was surrounded by turtles!  It was so funny, and when I started to paddle back, turtle # 6 and 7, surfaced just to say hello.  What a day!
