New Seal Sighted -- Hilary's first seal!

It was a bit chilly this morning as a small Sunrise group (Hilary, Pal, and Bobbie) set off for a trip around Children's.  The whole harbor felt different -- hushed -- because of the fog further out beyond us.  There didn't seem to be any boats moving around. 

We were half way to Children's heading due East when a seal popped up just off Hilary's stern.  Unusual place for it since the water is so deep there but it was a delight to see one. It bobbed up and down for a minute checking out the odd boat and then left us. 

We finished the row circuit on a down wind course from Marblehead Rock to Little Harbor with the fog chasing us in.

Great morning.  Glad to see the sun came out, though.  The rain is starting to be a bit too much.

Happy 4th of July!!
