Pastel skies!

The sun had already set behind the island of Lanai, and the sky burst into pastels!  Earlier in the day it was very windy…. even more windy than yesterday.  The skies were mostly overcast and the water was choppy, but I managed to paddle down to the boat ramp anyway.  I only saw a couple of turtles, but they were swimming down under the water and I never saw them surface.  I watched as the clouds got darker and darker out over the ocean and it looked like it was raining out there.  The wind continued to be from the south, so the stormy skies were moving in.  I decided to paddle back before I got caught in any rain!  The wind pushed me north and it was basically a “skill building” kind of day, on choppy water, not allowing for any sitting and just enjoying.  When I came in, the wind backed off some, but it was still overcast.  I enjoyed my swim down to the rocks and reef and saw a Moorish Idol fish,  a Yellow Tang fish, and a baby Puffer fish.  Then the wind came up again and luckily pushed me home!  The moisture in the sky created the amazing sky at sunset.  I wonder if it will be windy again tomorrow?
