Turtles!

The morning started out a bit breezy from the North, but as I headed South, it just stopped.  By the time I paddled down to the boat ramp, the ocean had become nice and glassy.  I was the only person at the boat ramp and I decided to just sit for a while and enjoy the surroundings.  All of a sudden three turtles popped up in front of me and then I looked around and three more turtles were behind me.  I was surrounded again!  I just hung out with them for a few minutes, until one by one, they disappeared.  I was thinking about how perfect it all was while I started to paddle back, and then, before I knew it, two more turtles popped up to say hi.  It was quite a turtle day!  The clouds parted by then, and the sun was shining and paddling back was perfect.  By the time I came in, the wind had started to pick up again.  My swim was nice too and a large Ulua fish passed me by on my way back!  I never know what I am going to see, every day is different.  Stay tuned…..
