I got out early because the wind had been coming up so early lately, but today was perfect!  The top of Haleakala was completely clear and the sun was shining bright. I paddled in perfect conditions down to the boat ramp.  When I got there, there were a couple of other paddlers there, plus a couple of jet skis were out since it is the weekend.  It was so calm and beautiful I just decided to sit for a while.  At first, there were no sign of any turtles and then suddenly a really big turtle surfaced right next to me!  It swam around me and hung out for about ten minutes. The I spotted another turtle out a bit farther, so I paddled out to it.  It just popped its head up a couple of times to look at me and then it disappeared.  I was just about to head back when another turtle surfaced to my right!  It seemed I got all the turtles today.  Paddling back was just as nice and I headed out to the quiet Zone to enjoy some tranquility.  Suddenly I heard the sound of a jet ski and paddled back.  Swimming was just a nice too!  I saw a Unicorn fish, baby Puffer fish, and an assortment of other tropical fish.  What a nice day for the beach!
