(25,816 posts)I surfed a spot in Hawaii that we found from a sailboat. There was a giant
turtle there that we named Bennie. So our new secret spot was called
"Bennie's". This huge creature would surface occasionally and honk quite
loudly, then disappear. The ocean is filled with wonders.

(54,379 posts)Over 15 years ago now (hard to believe!), my wife and I were snorkeling in a small bay on the Big Island, and I suddenly heard her yell in irritated voice for me to cut it out. Being about 100 meters from her, I was baffled, so I yelled back "cut WHAT out?" Then a small pause. Then a loud scream. A VERY loud scream.
She kept getting slapped on the shoulder, and thought it was me, teasing her. When she realized how far away I was, she looked up next to her, and saw it was a giant sea turtle. Although I doubt the turtle was hitting on her, it did seem to have a good time slapping her on the shoulder. She did NOT have a good time getting slapped while in water over her head, and made it very clear in no uncertain terms. I think they heard her on Oahu.

(1,639 posts)The way she bopped her head up out of the water that last time. As if to say, "Thanks! I got it from here."
