Day 23
Today I was visited by a turtle. Unfortunately not a Teenage Mutant Ninja one though!
Whilst I was rowing along I noticed quite a large object in the water coming up behind me. At first I thought it was some kind of Ray. Then I realized it was some kind of giant turtle. I quickly scrambled for the camera and managed to get a few shots. My turtle friend attracted a lot of other very colorful fish that were also interesting to look at.
That was one highlight of the day. Another was seeing a whale. This thing was pretty massive. As quickly as it appeared it was gone, so sadly I didn't quite manage to get a photo.
There is a fairly nasty bit of weather that is due to hit me from Thursday onwards so I'll just have to see what happens.
A quick shout out to everyone at Avnet. Thanks for the ongoing support. A good place to work with great people!
Out for now,
Captain K

Love the pic of the turtle. Will be printing it off for the kids at work, as it happens we are talking about sea animals. Envy you the photo album you will have by the time you have finished.
