Seven Great Paddling Days in a Row!!

Oh nice!

Oh nice!

I can’t belive it…….. Seven paddling days in a row!   It’s been a while since that happened!  It was a beautiful day but the ocean was not as calm as yesterday.  It was breezy and there were lumpy swells pushing from the south and the north.  The swells were competing and pushing in to each other….. I almost got pushed off of my board!  I decided to paddle down to the boat ramp anyway.  It was bumpy down there too …. But two turtles were waiting for me!  I paddled up between them.  One of the turtles was my buddy, Bumpy!  As usual Bumpy came right up to my board and popped his head up.  He posed several times for me and I had to apologize because I forgot my phone and couldn’t take any photos of him!   Then Bumpy dove under me and swam away.  I cruised over to the other turtle and could see it had a big tumor on its neck…… Well that made me sad.  I really don’t like to see that.  I wasn’t sure about the wind so I headed back.  At Kam 2 I ran into a paddling friend so we chatted for a few minutes.  The ocean stayed bumpy.  Everything calmed down about the time I went swimming.  It was a besutiful swim too!   Another besutiful day!  Maybe tomorrow too!
