it’s unbelievable how many turtles there are now. when i use to free dive 25 years ago, i’d only see one or two. now, i see 10 to 15 each time i free dive. there are so many that it’s even dangerous to drive a boat. ran another one over the other day, luckily didn’t crack the hull this time. turtles are protected by federal law and if you touch one or eat one, you can go to jail for a very long time. i’m wondering how much longer they will be protected because if you ask me, there are just too many. maybe that’s why shark attacks are on the rise?

the glassy days should be over soon. trade winds are back from spring to fall.

there was a huge fire yesterday. could see it from way out in the ocean. the whole mountain near UH was on fire. started at 10:30am and ended at 10pm. the whole south shore smelt like a big barbecue all day. and in the wind came black ashes.

black ashes on a beautiful white boat don’t go well together. OMG.
