JIThrowback to that time we helped a sea turtle off the coast of Puerto Ángel…

It swam straight up to our boat like it knew we were there to help.
Its mouth was full of barnacles.
God knows how long it hadn’t eaten.
The capitán moved quick —
I held it in my arms while he cleaned it up.
It stayed calm the whole time.
Lifted its head… took a breath…
and disappeared back into the sea.
Felt like it said thanks.
It was like being dropped into a nature doc.
Also… I won’t lie, I wasn’t sure if we should interfere.
But the captain lives on these waters —
so I followed his lead.
Turtles have been my spirit animal since I swam with one in the Similan Islands, Thailand.
Then visited a sanctuary in Songkhla.
Now I’ve got a turtle tattoo and bracelet to match.
They’re calm.
Present.
Wise little stoners — like the one in Finding Nemo 🐢💨 (Maybe like me too... gahaha.)
Nature’s the biggest gift we’ve got.
The ocean’s where I feel most alive.
Too many people don’t care enough — we’ve all gotta do better 🌊
