Turtle buddies!

Well, the day started out windy and it stayed windy!  The wind was blowing from the south, so I paddled into it.  It was a good workout paddling down to the boat ramp!  I ran into my first turtle as I passed Kam III, then there were more turtles waiting for me at the boat ramp.  I counted nine there and twice I was surrounded….the first time by three turtles and the second time by four turtles!  Despite the windy and choppy conditions, the turtles still surfaced.  On my way back, another turtle surfaced in front of me out from Kam III, so of course I stopped, but not for long since I didn’t know if the wind was going to change directions.  Lucky for me, the wind continued to blow from the south so I got a push on my way back!  The wind only backed off momentarily when I went for my swim but started up again on my way back.  Lucky for me, the wind pushed me back then too!  It was a beautiful day, but a windy one!!
