Perfect Day!

And was it ever perfect!!!!  After all those windy mornings, today was perfect conditions.  Just a few puffy clouds in the sky and a glassy ocean!  Of course I paddled down to the boat ramp, even though the wind might still come up, because this day was just too perfect.  I ran across my first turtle just outside of Kam III and hung around with it for a few minutes.  It popped its head out of the water three times and then swam around me,  then it dove under my board!  I continued paddling to the boat ramp and ran into turtle #2 which didn’t stick around.  Then suddenly a turtle surfaced to my right, and then another one surfaced to my left, and one popped up behind me, so I was surrounded!  Two more turtles joined us!  After they swam away, I was sitting on my board enjoying the scenery, wondering how long I dare stay down there.  Before I knew it, two more turtles surfaced right next to me and another one on the other side and I was surrounded again!  That was ten turtles so far and I was contemplating paddling back.  Then  # 11 surfaced on my left side and #12 surfaced on my right side and #13 popped up in front of me!  I was ecstatic!  After all the turtle excitement I decided to paddle back, but before I took off,  turtle #14 popped up in front of me. It was quite a turtle day!  The conditions stayed glassy and perfect all the way back, and all the way through my swim. What a totally perfect day!
