NYCkayaker Sea Turtle!

[Emile Zen]

Is this a common sight in the Long Island Sound?  I saw one yesterday, while paddling from Glen Cove to Mamaroneck after a Swim Across America event.
   
  As it approached my starboard bow, I thought it was a plastic garbage bag, floating one or two feet under the surface of the water.  But then its shape became unmistakable.  The shell must have been around two feet in diameter.  It continued swimming in the opposite direction to mine, and I didn't turn for a better look because I was in the middle of the shipping channel.
   
  It was a split second thrill.  Hope I wasn't hallucinating...
