How old are Sea Turtles?

The other day we went to Turtle Beach and it was the coolest thing I've ever done in Hawaii so far! When we got there there were two big turtles chilling on the beach. They were cool to see but they were just sleeping so Landric, Nate, and I ventured forth to find more turtles in action. this beach is famous for having a lot of turtles. It's rumored that some native comes and feeds the turtles because normally turtles wouldn't be so friendly to people but for some reason at this beach they are. Well we swam around for a bit. Saw some fish but that was all. Nate said baby got a submarine adventure. But suddenly there were so many all around us. We were only knee deep in the water and they would come right close to us and nudge us out of the way or swim around us. It was so cool! One turtle started after Nate and Nate tried to get out of his way but the turtle just kept following him and nipping at his swim shorts. It was funny. I wish we had a picture of all of this but we didn't want to worry about a camera getting wet.
I even dreamt last night that baby was born with a turtle shell. "Baby in a Half Shell, Baby Power!"
