Gorgeous Sunday morning!

Actually, it was more than twenty turtles because when I got to 20,  I lost track!  After the windy conditions of the last couple of days,  today’s perfect conditions were much appreciated.  The water has cleared up and the ocean was glassy,  just the way we like it!  I paddled my usual route, north,  and when I turned south,  I had my first turtle encounter right out from Kam I.  A big turtle surfaced and swam around me and then it dove down under me!  It came up a few times to look at me and then it disappeared.  I paddled on down to the boat ramp and came across my next turtle there.  It was also a big turtle and friendly too!  I thought that might be it for the day, but suddenly the turtle show began.  I found myself surrounded a few times and I tried hard to keep count.  When I got to ten, I figured that might be it, but once again, up the turtles popped!  I counted 10 more….. and then I quit counting!  A few other paddlers made their way over to where I was because they saw all the turtles,  but it seemed that the turtles mostly disappeared.  The other paddlers moved on and I stayed in my spot.  To my surprise, the turtles started to surface again and I just don’t know how many there were in all!  The conditions stayed perfect all the way back and my swim was just as nice.  What a day!
