Crazy Wind!!

Breezy and bumpy!

Breezy and bumpy!

The wind has been crazy lately.  It has been so unpredictable.  I just swam yesterday and as soon as I came in, the wind backed off and then it was nice!  Today I got down early, even before the lifeguards, and it was already breezy.  I sat on the beach and watched it for a while and then a paddling friend called me to ask if I was going out.  The wind line had just backed off and the conditions were getting better, so I told her I was going out.  My friend came out too and we decided to paddle down to Kalama Park.  It was still bumpy but at least we could paddle!  A turtle popped up just as we were going past Charley Young Beach!  Then it dove down and I could see it near the bottom.  The water is really clear!

It popped up!

It popped up!

Not very many people were out paddling because of the wind, but the wind was pushing on shore, making it a chore to keep paddling to stay out.  We paddled down to Kam 2 and then I decided to go in and swim.  Just as I managed to rinse off my board and hoist it up on my racks, the wind backed off again!  Swimming was great!  It was so clear!  I hope the wind gets it figured out soon….. maybe tomorrow……

Beautiful day!

Beautiful day!
