I THINK THIS WAS AN ON-SHORE SYNCHRONIZED SEAL SHOW FOR US

Do you know what a slough is?  We on the safari do.
See Otter turning summersaults and other aquatic tricks




 Sea lions are not social...they are together for their safety

Rod is ready for some cold foggy windy Moss Landing weather, which we had neither.

Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do,
'Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
