Beach-goers move in close to photograph sea lions and their pups at a rookery at Boomer Beach next to Point La Jolla.

Meanwhile Ca is on fire again, they are having brown outs again and the Sierra club is worrying about the seals.

A friend of mine in Juneau was an avid sea kayaker but would get harassed by sea lions literally getting in his face while paddling.
He painted the kayak bottom to resemble the belly of an orca which scared off the sea lions but attracted killer whales.

There is a reason they are called “Sea Lions.”

Had a buddy in college that grabbed a chipmunk. It opened his hand up like a circular saw.

Why people mess with wild animals is beyond me.

Back in the day when I was assigned mess duty, a fellow swabbie and myself made night dives for lobsters in the la jolla cove.

The fresh lobster was used as bribes to the master chief for a day or two off duty.

There is (or was pre-COVID) a place in San Francisco called Fisherman’s Wharf. The seals like to gather around pier 39.
I went there once and the closer you get to the basking seals, the nastier and more pronounced was the reeking of urine. I only went back when forced to by some out of towners. They didn’t stay long either. Not in that spot.

Too bad that there were no cameras present when the sealion, that was ripping salmon out of our net up in False Pass, Alaska, popped up by the stern rollers and was real surprised when treated to Mr 12ga double ought buck, receiving point blank a nice 4inch dia red spot on his chest and slipping quickly bank under the water.

nasty critters best avoided
