Yup, it was windy already by the time I got to the beach today, but I went out anyway.  I paddled against the wind all the way down to the boat ramp and it was quite the workout. I hoped the wind wouldn’t change direction on my way back.  When I got to the boat ramp, I ran into a couple of other paddling friends who had paddled against the wind all the way too.  They didn’t stay, but even though it was choppy, I decided to hang around for a little while.  I didn’t hold out much hope for seeing turtles since it was so choppy, but all of a sudden 3 turtles surfaced!  Then 3 more surfaced.  I felt lucky to have had 6 turtles around me, but I decided to start my trek back since the wind was not backing off.  I was able to ride the wind back, thankfully,  and got back quicker than I expected.  The water visibility is clearing up, but the wind made it a bumpy swim!  Hopefully tomorrow will be less windy.  You never know!
