Another Beautiful Morning!

Wow, this morning was as beautiful as yesterday with just a nice breeze blowing on shore to keep things cool.  The day was sunny with just a few patchy clouds and the water clarity was much improved.  I paddled down to the boat ramp in smooth, glassy conditions! When I arrived, I was the only paddler there, but I saw no turtles at first.  Suddenly I spotted one out a bit farther so I paddled out.  It was a small turtle, but friendly.  Then another turtle surfaced to my right, this one much larger.  It swam right to me and then surfaced as it blew out water, and sprayed me!  I’m not sure I wanted that since I think it’s like a human blowing their nose….. yuck.  Anyway it stuck around for a few minutes and then disappeared.  I sat on my board just enjoying the calm water, and then headed home.  As I passed Kam II, another large turtle surfaced and swam past me!  The conditions stayed really nice for the trip back but after I tied my board on top of my car, the wind came up in a fury.  It was, for sure, a rough water swim, but at least the water was clear and I could see the bottom!  It’s all good!
