The south swell has mostly disappeared and today was a gorgeous morning!  The water clarity is still messed up due to lingering currents, but the paddling conditions were ideal.  I paddled down to the boat ramp and it was so quiet without a boat or jet ski in sight!  The ocean was so calm and glassy and the water down there was really clear.  I wished I had brought my mask and snorkel… maybe tomorrow.  I sat there on my board just enjoying the quiet for a few minutes, and suddenly two turtles appeared!  They were smaller, so they must have been youngsters.  They stayed with me for a few minutes and then dove down.  I turned my board around to start my paddle back, and then two more turtles popped up!  Before I knew it two more turtles popped up and that was a total of six turtles for today.  The water was clear so I could see them swimming down under me too!  I enjoyed paddling back and stopped at the quiet zone to sit and take it all in.  Ahhhh…. what a nice day!
