Nice Day but Windy!!

Interesting clouds!

Interesting clouds!

What a switch from yesterday!  Today was windy from the start, but not blown out yet,  so I went out paddling anyway.  I was out later than I had planned so I decided to paddle into the wind which was blowing from the north.  There was evidence of cane smoke mixed in the clouds, so I knew that the wind might get stronger.  I paddled down to Kalama Park and watched the surfers having fun on the small waves rolling in…but I didn’t see a single turtle!  Then I decided to paddle south and about the time I was passing Kam I, the wind gained strength and suddenly white caps appeared.  Soon I was being pushed south so I went with it until I got down to Kam III, and then I thought it wise to turn around!  It’s a good thing I turned around because the wind got even stronger and it took me a while to paddle my way back against it!  The wind stayed strong while I swam too and the clouds moved in making the water dark again like yesterday.  It ended up being solely a work out today and I have no idea where all the turtles were hiding!  There have been quite a few windy days lately, so I hope tomorrow is different….we’ll see…..
