Beautiful!

I spent the last four days sick in bed……and today I was determined to get out paddling even though I have a bit of laryngitis and a cough.  When I went out, it was windy….not exactly a south wind, but more of an east- north-east wind and the water was not calm!  Oh well, I was going out no matter what.  I paddled into the wind and headed south.  By the time I got half way past Kam III, I decided to turn around.  No point in pushing it for my first day back.  I ran into a paddling friend outside of Kam II, so we paddled and chatted for a while.  All four turtles I saw today were at Kam II!  The wind backed off a bit and the conditions actually got very nice!  We paddled towards Kam I and I decided to go in to hopefully swim in nice conditions.  It was a chore lugging my board in today…..one more reminder that I’ve been sick, but I managed to load it onto my car.  My swim was great!  The water visibility has cleared up and it is so warm.  I swam down to the reef and was happy to see my fish friends scurrying about!  I followed a pair of Moorish Idols for a while and then headed back.  It was a beautiful day, even though it started out windy!!
