This morning started out much like the last couple of mornings with a breeze from the North.  I paddled into the wind for a while, and then made the turn to paddle south.  Just about the time I turned to paddle with the wind, the wind stopped.  Conditions got very calm and nice and paddling down to the boat ramp was a joy.  When I arrived there, I was almost immediately greeted by three turtles!  I hung out with them for a few minutes and then started to paddle back.  Suddenly a large turtle appeared to greet me and just as I was really enjoying our visit, a boat zoomed into the boat ramp and the turtle disappeared!  I ended up having to maneuver over the wake swells the boat created, and never saw the large turtle again.  I really hate when that happens!  **** boats!  Oh well, paddling back was very enjoyable too and the water has really cleared up.  Yay!
