My one and only!

It was a beautiful day on Maui today even though the swell that popped up yesterday was still lingering.  I got out late because I had to wait for a parking spot so I paddled north.  I could still see all the white water and waves at Kalama Park, so I turned around and paddled south.  I got down to Kam II and noticed that they had their red flags out and the shore break was definitely more prevalent there.  I could also see swells down by the boat ramp and it was clear the waves were crashing onto the rocks.  I decided to stay close to home so I paddled back and forth between Kam II and Cove Park.  Just as I was paddling out, a turtle popped up!  It was my one and only turtle of the day (pictured above….) but I was glad to see it.  Everyone who had been swimming was complaining that the water wasn’t clear, so I went for a walk and then just a dip in the ocean.  I hope the swell disappears by tomorrow and the visibility improves!  I’d really like to paddle on my birthday!
