Yesterday it was windy and blown out early…….but this morning was perfect! I got out a bit earlier and headed down to the boat ramp in glassy conditions. I couldn’t believe how perfect it was! When I arrived at the boat ramp, no one else was there. Immediately three turtles surfaced! Then two more so I was on a roll with five turtles already! The turtles kept popping up all around me and I had them all to myself! Twice I was sitting with five or six turtles floating all around me! I saw Torpedo head, Bumpy and Spot…….all of them just this morning. It was good to see some turtles I recognized again. The turtles were floating and then swimming under my board so many times! A paddling friend joined me at the boat ramp and there were more turtles. I stayed down there quite a while until I had counted at least twenty turtles so I quite counting! Another couple came to the boat ramp so we chatted for a while and then we headed back. Just as we were paddling by Kam II, white caps appeared out farther so my friend headed in. I paddled back and made it just in time for the wind to come in. Once again, the wind didn’t back off so I needed help getting my board up onto my racks. Then I visited with a friend for a while and then went for my swim. It was so choppy, but pretty clear so I headed south. Just before I made it to the reef, a big turtle came swimming under me going north! I turned around and swam with it almost back to Kam I. The turtle was the only sea creature I saw out swimming today. The wind was relentless and blowing sand around, so I headed home. The wind has been so unpredictable lately so I guess the best plan is to get out as early as possible. I will keep trying to get out earlier! It was a beautiful day though……
