turtles!

It started out windy this morning and then it backed off just like yesterday.  Almost immediately, a turtle popped up right by the inside buoy and then another one popped up further north.  I hung around for a few minutes to enjoy them!  Then  I ran into a paddling friend who had been gone for a few weeks so we chatted and then we decided to paddle down to the boat ramp together.  I told her how the wind had been backing off the last few days, but just as we headed into Kam III,  she questioned the wind and said she saw white caps out there.  We continued to paddle until the wind really did start to blow!  One big turtle surfaced at Kam III, so I stayed a few minutes with that one, then another one surfaced as we turned around.  The wind came in strong and the white caps came in with it!  OOPS…. I should have listened to my paddling friend, but at least she was close to home at Kam II.  I had to paddle all the way back to Kam I and it was a lot of work, but I didn’t mind!  Just as I made my way to Kam I, the wind totally backed off and it was nice again and it stayed nice for my swim too.  Some days the wind is pesky like that!
