turtle power

One of the many things to love about life on the water is being immersed in nature. I don't think I ever tire of seeing dolphins leaping and playing in the bow wave, spotting a whale 'spouting' nearby or seeing a ray jump from the water. Today though, I am bewitched by turtles in the bay we are anchored in. Somehow they appear both prehistoric and comical at the same time, their heads bobbing above the waves to breath, before diving down to continue feeding on the sea grass. Having tried in the past to follow turtles underwater I know how quickly they can swim, which again seems at odds with their cumbersome appearance. Nature really is wonderful to me and I feel privileged to see such sights at close quarters. It's just a pity they move to quickly for me to get a decent photo !!
