About wildwahinepaddler

I have been happily living on Maui for the past twenty-four years. I have been stand up paddling for over five years. I am married to Bob; have three grown children, five grandchildren,( two grandsons and three grand daughters.)

Beautiful day and seven turtles!  I got lots of great shots!  The last turtle swam with me down to near the end at Charley Young beach and I was exhausted.  It was a great workout!
