Well I got out late this morning.  It was 9:15 a.m. before I got down to the beach and it was already windy.  I decided to go out anyway, but the conditions were on the choppy side and the skies got intermittently overcast.  I paddled down as far as Kam III, and then turned around since I was unsure of the wind conditions.  On my way back I encountered a turtle just outside of Kam II!  It popped up a couple of times in the chop and then disappeared.  The wind stayed about the same intensity as when I first went out, and paddling back took some effort, but I enjoyed the change of pace.  I went for my swim and the wind backed off a bit.  I saw a few fish down by the rocks and reef and also a small black eel squiggling around some rocks trying to hide itself!  By the time I got back, the wind had really backed off and some paddlers were just going out.  They got lucky, the conditions were better later, than earlier today!  Some days are just like that….
