A turtle tried to kiss me

All of the readers who are divers will recognize this scene, the post-dive log filling and what-was-that-fish session. We just got back from two afternoon dives off of Mabul island. We were supposed to dive Sipadan, which is the main attraction, but we couldn't because the max number of divers (120) had been reached. The alternate dive sites were pretty good with huge (1000s) schools of jack fish, and some very friendly turtles. While we were looking at three large green turtles resting on the reef wall, another came up right beside us, only inches away. Turning to see this big critter right in our face was quite a shock! Then he did, as turtles do, calmly paddled away. Sipadan tomorrow, 5h30.

Very excellent! It's buffet with pasta at lunch for me, lots of veggies for Megan, and very good local curries and seafood at dinner. There is always something around to nibble on.
