It was another lovely day on Maui! Spring really has sprung! The day started out a bit breezy from the East, but I headed down to the boat ramp anyway. The sky was a little overcast which made the temperature comfortable. By the time I started to paddle past Kam 2…… the wind backed off some and by the time I got to the boat ramp it was glassy! I was so glad I didn’t let the threat of wind keep me away because a trio of turtles was waiting for me when I arrived! I paddled up to them and started to photograph one of the turtles. The turtle dove under my board and came up on the other side and I caught the above photo as it was swimming away! The first photo is of a very friendly turtle that was hanging around me. I took this photo as it passed next to my board! It was so close that I could have reached down and patted it’s shell! Three more turtles surfaced and that made seven turtles for today. I was glad the turtles didn’t make me wait because I really didn’t trust that the wind was not going to come up! It stayed nice, though, and when I passed Kam 2, I ran into a paddling friend who had paddled more north. She said there were a few Manta Rays down by Cove Park. When I passed Kam 2, I saw one of the Manta Rays come up and splash several yards from where I was sitting. The day stayed nice with the wind backed off and my swim was pretty perfect too! I am really enjoying paddling again!
