Gorgeous day!

Easter morning on Maui.  A beautiful day with light, wispy clouds strewn about in the sky with a breeze blowing from the south.  I couldn’t wait to get out on my board, but it already seemed like it was going to get windy.  I paddled out and begged the wind to back off  because I really needed a nice, calm day to paddle!  Before I knew it,  the wind did back off and the conditions were perfect!  I paddled down to the boat ramp and when i got there I had the place all to myself.  At first I didn’t see any turtles, so again I begged…. please visit me today because I really need some cheering up!  Suddenly the first turtle surfaced out in front of me.  I paddled to it and then a turtle popped up on each side of me and I was surrounded!!!!  I paddled out farther and was met by another turtle and when I got to it, three more turtles surfaced and I was again surrounded!  Then turtle # 8 joined us and they were very friendly turtles so I got to hang out with them for quite a while.  It was so nice to visit with five turtles all at once!  The conditions stayed perfect and I was feeling very cheered up by my turtles, so I headed back.  I was just about back, when I ran into a paddling friend and we chatted for quite a while.  We drifted down to Kam I and then paddled back to Kam II, and a turtle surfaced in front of us and then another one surfaced out from us!  Of course I had to paddle out to the last turtle, but it disappeared by the time I got to it.  I said good-bye to my friend and paddled home.  The conditions were still pretty good, so I had an enjoyable swim too.  That shiny Ulua fish that I saw the other day, swam right past me again today!  All in all, it was a very enjoyable Easter day…. Happy Easter everyone!!!!!
