It was a beautiful morning….. the sun came out right on time today!  Maui is one of the most beautiful places in the world!  I walked the beach and the wind picked up.  I went swimming and it was wonderful!  No turtles today but a great swim.  Water is still pretty clear too.  After I came in the wind started playing games. Three outrigger canoe paddlers came in….. shook their heads and reported choppy conditions.   Oh no.  Well I waited around and it stayed choppy until almost 9:30 a.m.  Then the wind backed off and the ocean seemed to smooth out.   All the paddlers who went out,  were staying close by….. everyone knew the wind was being unpredictable.  By then it was getting late and the sun was starting to cook so it was time for this wahine paddler to head home.  Tomorrow I have some dental work being done and I apparently can’t get ocean water in my mouth for a week.  Not again!  Well if I feel like it and we get a calm day…… I could go out Paddling, right?  We will see…..
