Wow! What a perfect day out on the wster! The wind was cooperating so I headed to the boat ramp. I ran into a paddling friend at Kam 3 and we stopped to chat…… Suddenly a turtle surfaced right in front of me! It was Bumpy! The turtle headed in my direction and I fumbled around to get my camera ready. My friend told me not to run into him and when he didn’t move….. I dropped my camera to move out of his way. Just as I used my paddle to push away….. Bumpy tipped sideways and dove under splashing me! I was all wet! My friend said Bumpy was making a statement….. Like what the hell are you doing? I got the message loud and clear! I waited for him to surface again but he didn’t. I could see him way down by the ocean bottom. I guess he was mad at me…..that turtle! I headed down to the boat ramp but the snorkel boat was already there. Five turtles surfaced anyway! I got some photos. It was getting late so I headed back. Just as I was passing Kam 2….. The wind kicked up and the conditions got choppy. My swim was very enjoyable too because the water visibility is good right now and the bonus? I got to swim back with another turtle! That made a total of seven lovely turtles for the day!
