Day 10:Kailua Beach

Shugga heard there were sea turtles to been seen at Kailua Beach, just a short ride from the beach house. She didn't have to think twice about packing up and heading out to Kailua for some turtle watching. Shugga really, really wants to see a sea turtle.
The beach was absolutely beautiful. Is there a beach here not? Doesn't seem to be.

Shugga settled herself on the shore and gazed out over the unbelievably blue waters. She watched and watched and watched. Her face a picture of determination. She was going to see her sea turtle gosh darn it! Wait, wait... what's that? Look Shugga, look! Could that be? It's round and tannish... and that's a head! That was definitely a head poking up. And there are it's flippers. Oh Shugga, there's your sea turtle.Shugga was so excited. And it was so close. So close she could almost swim out it to. She grabbed her inner tube and decided to give it a try. She swam and swam, but the turtle had disappeared beneath the clear blue waters. Oh well, it was worth a try. As Shugga turned back to shore she noticed she had swam quite far off shore. It's okay Shugga, don't panic someone is coming to rescue you. Luckily for Shugga a very nice, and nice looking too, lifeguard had swam out to give her a hand.

She thanked the lifeguard for his help and he asked her for her number. Oh Shugga, are you blushing? She was surprised, but quickly blurted out her number. She couldn't decide what was better luck the sea turtle or the lifeguard.

She invited the lifeguard to have lunch with her, but he had to decline since he was on duty. So she said goodbye and he promised to give her a call. She bounded back to her stuff and pulled out a manapua to snack on. Bad idea Shugga. Very bad idea.Nobody warned her about the birds. Watch out Shugga! Those birds are vicious.
Shugga are you alright? She got pecked a little bit, but managed to hold on to her manapua. Way to put up a fight Shugga!


Even despite the bird incident, Shugga was glad she came. She did see a sea turtle. And maybe, just maybe she will get a special call.
