Beautiful day!!  I walked the beach until the sun came up , watched a pod of whales frolicking and then went for a swim.  The water was refreshing and surprisingly clear after the weather we just had.  The wind was playing games…..moving in and out…. and I debated whether to go Paddling.  Finally I decided to go for it.  I headed south and just as I was passing into Kam 2….. a big turtle popped up!  I had just been thinking  about how great it would be if a turtle showed up and then I wouldn’t go as far as the boat ramp…… then a turtle popped up right in front of me!  I paddled with it all the way to Charley Young beach and then it dove down.  I continued on to Kalama and then headed back.  It was so nice out on the water!  I was so glad I decided to go out and I didn’t have to share the turtle with anyone else!
