Swimming with Sea Turtles

Uncategorized
Posted by Danielle on 18, October 2011
Today, I went swimming in the ocean to prep for the Xterra World Championship this Sunday. As I was exiting the water a lady committed to me that I was swimming right next to a huge sea turtle. Really? I didn’t even notice, so I stood on the beach and scanned the surf to locate him. Sure enough, after about three minutes of waiting, a huge head popped up and immediately I ran out into the Ocean to swim beside him. To my surprise there wasn’t just one but three honu’s (Hawaiian for Sea Turtle). I got to swim with these gentle giants for half an hour, it was absolutely amazing!
