Another windy morning! There was even sugar cane being burned so the smoke was blowing right in my direction…… Disgusting. After getting caught in the wind yesterday…. I vowed to paddle north if there was any wind at all. Well, the smoke was too much! I turned and paddled south. I got as far as halfway through Kam 3 and then turned around. It didn’t look like the wind was going to bavk off today. It stayed windy the whole time I paddled! At least I wasn’t all the way down at the boat ramp! Just about the time I was going to swim…..the wind backed off and it was a really nice swim! I was about halfway down to the reef and ran into a turtle swimming north. I was so excited to see it! I turned around and swam with it almost down to the end of Charley Young beach. Twice it came up under me and then off to my right side. It was a medium sized female turtle and very healthy looking. That made my day! Back on shore it got cloudy and started to rain so I went home. What a mixed bag of conditions for today!
