It doesn't get better than this!

It really doesn’t get better than this……blue skies, fluffy clouds, and glassy ocean conditions!  The water was so glassy, you could see the clouds reflecting on the ocean and it was so calm.  I was paddling down to the boat ramp when I ran into a paddling friend outside of Kam II, so we paddled down together.  There were a couple of other paddlers already there, so we moved down closer to the ramp, and my friend spotted the first two turtles of the day!  I paddled quickly over to them and sat in-between them.  One dove down, but the other one was friendly. Then we spotted two more turtles out farther so we paddled out to them.  Once again I sat in between them!  One more turtle surfaced and we decided to paddle down towards Keawakapu.  It was so calm and nice, but all the turtles seemed to be back by the boat ramp, so we turned around.  I am so glad we did!  Turtles were popping up everywhere and I got surrounded a couple of times!  Then we ran into some other friends and we all were enjoying the turtles.  A couple more times I was sitting in-between turtles, and I raised my hands up and exclaimed, “I’m between them!”  A guy paddled by me and said, “You sure are and they are all around you!”  By then I was pretty sure I had counted twenty turtles so it was time to stop counting.  The water surface started to change too and we wondered if the wind was going to come in, so we paddled back.  We had just gotten to Kam I and a south wind definitely came up.  I decided to go in and my friend headed against the wind back to Kam II.  It took me a little while to maneuver in with the wind, but I made it in before it got crazy windy.  For my swim, I decided to swim against the wind  and it was a work out, but I cruised back with the wind,  so it evened out the effort!  Then it got very windy, but it was still a gorgeous sunday!!!
