It was a beautiful morning!  The sun was peeking through some cloud cover on the mountain.  It was not windy yet…. although some variable wind did come up  later.  It seemed to be mostly pushing from the south …… with little swells….. so I took a chance and paddled down to the boat ramp.  Unfortunately a tour boat with blaring music was hanging out there…. so I waited for them to move on.  Finally they left and the tranquility usually experienced there returned.  Three turtles surfaced to visit me!  It was great to see them!  I paddled back hoping the wind would continue pushing north and it did, giving me a nice boost back!  It stayed pretty nice throughout my swim but I didn’t see any turtles today.  The water is 80 degrees and felt so good!
