West Bay Seal

I kayaked with my friend Julie last night around the inlet, departing from West Bay Marina.  Tug Boat Annie's has a two-hour rental for $15.00.  I haven't been out there in forever, and was pleased to find out the Columbia Street Seisun Group plays out there on Wednesday nights from 8-10.  I wondered where they convene, and I haven't really listened to them since Clancy's went away.

The kayaking was beautiful.  We kayaked right up to seals and herons.  One seal followed us out, and followed us back in. We knew he was around from his periodic appearances and snorts.  I had no idea that so many logs are stored out there, but they make excellant perches for our friends the seals and herons. 

The kayak launch is a little rickety. Both of us passed the 'standing up from sitting' test, so that is good.  And our friend the seal did not tip us over.

Hey!

Do you think they'd let me take one of those kayaks over to the SLoP to do cleanup? Hmmm, maybe if they knew it was a volunteer thing for the good of the nutria habitat...then hell, they might even let me use it for free! Do you suppose they are aware of Olyblog? I need to follow up with this.

I think it's a good idea to

I think it's a good idea to check into.  You're brilliant.  Who is aware? Would that be the seals?  Maybe they arent' really seals but caimens incognito? HMMMM

Imagine

Imagine the sight of a caiman sliding into a seal suit. Creepy.

Do seal suits have zippers? If so, we can all be alert to that specific zippering up the seal suit sound.

Actually,

I think it might a suction fit rather than a zippered.  I recall hearing lots of 'shwooooooob', 'shwooooooob' in the distance.

Eww

That is extra creepy. The sound of caimans suiting up for another work shift of terrorizing Olympia.
