Beautiful Maui Morning!

It was just this perfect this morning, except the wind was trying to come up.  I decided not to bring my mask and snorkel today because I wasn’t sure about the wind situation.  The wind remained light to non-existent at times, so paddling conditions were pretty perfect!  I paddled north but there had been some cane burning, so I was starting to cough.  I made my turn to paddle south and the air got clearer thank goodness.  It was a great paddle down to the boat ramp and when I got there, I was the only paddler around.  I didn’t see any turtles at first, so I sat down on my board to see what might happen.  I was just starting to think that maybe it wasn’t going to be a turtle day, when a very friendly turtle popped up next to me!  I enjoyed watching it circle me and then dive under my board.  Then a couple more turtles surfaced and when I paddled out further, another one popped up!  It was only four turtles today, but getting to see any turtle is always such a treat.  The wind remained light and I paddled back in very nice conditions too.  As I was coming in, it seemed like the wind was really going to come up, so I hurried to get my swim in.  Sure enough, shortly after I came in from swimming, the wind had arrived!  Some days are like that!
