Sea

So this sounds silly, but I told Brie I would let you all know about the sea turtle we saw out in the Pacific yesterday. We were about 190 ft of water and we saw the most MASSIVE sea turtle! It was the size of my CRV! We tryed fishing around it for quite awhile... To be honest we just stared at it, and could not help but be amazed at the size. When it popped its head above the water for air and sucked in a large breath of air... it was just floating baking in the sun... it makes the loudest whoosing noise like when a whale blows. Okay so I know it is fairly cheesy but I have to tell you there is something very real about being on the ocean... for one everytime you are there something reminds you to respect it. The power, how fast the weather changes.... 20 ft waves in a 20 ft boat. But also everytime I am out there I see something... some mammal, some amazing creature that I, well knew was there just never realized they were HERE so close! I pictured them in the deep deep sea, or floating around the Galapagos. Right next us out in the sea! Whales, strange dinosaur fish, massive sea turtles. I am not a tree hugger but if you can't love the dirt, remember where it all flows eventually and how close we all are in the end.
