Windy, but surrounded again!

Beautiful Maui Day!

You can’t tell from this photo, but just about the time I got into the water, it got windy!  South wind again today and quickly the conditions got choppy for paddling.  I paddled in the chop and made it down to the boat ramp.  By then the sky had become mostly cloudy, so it made the water look dark and the choppy conditions made seeing any turtles next to impossible….. I thought.  I was the only person out there and didn’t have big hopes of seeing anything today,  but all of a sudden, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 turtles showed up all around me again!  I was having a great time with them until a boat roared in and they all vanished.  I sat there for a minute before heading back, and suddenly two of the turtles popped up again!  The wind stayed Kona, and it was a good push back, until it suddenly backed off and there was NO wind.  Thankfully the cloudy skies remained to keep it cooler and I was back before I knew it.  As I started to come in,  the wind returned and I had another rough water swim again today!  Some days are like that.
