it was a beautiful calm morning for paddling and this guy was really friendly!  I was talking to the turtle and I am pretty sure it was listening!  Too bad I didn’t have a handful of seaweed to give it!  There was no sign of wind and the turtles continued to delight me!  A paddling friend came with me to the boat ramp and immediately we were surrounded by five turtles.  The turtles were friendly this morning!

Oh boy!

Howdy!

It stayed nice down at the boat ramp and the water was so clear.  I counted a dozen turtles in all!  The conditions were great all the way back but a few minutes after I came in…..the wind roared in and also some clouds.  The overcast skies made it so much cooler too.  I swam in windy conditions but I didn’t care!  It was another beautiful day in paradise!
