The sky was full of pastel colors as the sun set due to the moisture in the air.  It was beautiful!

This morning I was surprised to find out that it had rained earlier in the morning and my car was all wet.  Down at the beach the skies were a little overcast, but the ocean was pure glass!  Paddling was a joy, so smooth!  I paddled down to the boat ramp and since I had gotten kind of late start this morning, the pontoon tour boat was already there!!!!  Uggghhh.  I didn’t expect to see any turtles since  the boat had already arrived to disturb the turtle flow.  I paddled past the boat and was immediately greeted by three turtles!  I was surrounded!  I was so excited to get such an unexpected treat.  Then three more turtles surfaced and I couldn’t decide which one to follow!  I followed the one that was swimming in the direction of the tour boat, but then it stopped and just swam around me.  Suddenly another turtle popped up and swam near me too!  I paddled out farther than where the boat was anchored, and two more turtles surfaced.  That was nine turtles even with the tour boat there!  The conditions were still perfectly glassy when I paddled back and the white and silver clouds were being reflected on the water.  It looked very surreal!  Just about the time I made it back to Kam I, I ran into a paddling friend so we chatted for a while.  The ocean was so perfect, it was hard to come in!  The glassy conditions prevailed during my swim and the water was so clear!  What an amazing Saturday on Maui!
