Wow, what a perfect day on Maui today.  Sunny skies, no wind and warm water, just the way we like it!  Conditions for paddling were perfect and calm.  I enjoyed paddling down to the boat ramp.  As I was passing Kam III, I noticed some bubbles coming to the surface in a couple of places so I decided to investigate.  I followed the bubbles for a little while and saw some bright blue colors from down below.  It turned out to be two scuba divers!!!!  Oh well!  At the boat ramp I was welcomed by a large friendly turtle.  It stayed with me for a few minutes going down and surfacing….and then it seemed like that might be it for the day.  I thought,  well one turtle is still a great thing, but then one by one, six turtles surfaced all around me!  I hung around with them for quite a while and then decided to paddle back.  Seven turtles is pretty good too, I think!  Conditions stayed just as perfect on the way back and my arm just felt a little sore.  I swam down to the rocks and reef and visited the tropical fish, and it was still nice.  When I packed up and left the beach, the day was still perfect!  I’ll take it!
