So I got up this morning at about 6:30 and decided that despite the fact that it is rather grey outside, I want to go out on the bay. I am so glad I did. It was only about sixty five degrees this morning but the water was not nearly as cold as thought it would be. There was also a steady breeze and about a foot or foot and a half swell but I have so missed going out as it has been a few weeks since I have been out and I have missed it. It was especially nice being the only person out, just me, the waves, the sky and a seal. It was kind of funny as I have not seen a seal out there since the first time I went out kayaking. I was paddling along, just soaking in the views when I noticed that about thirty feet ahead of me a seal had his head out of the water and was watching me. I stopped paddling and he went under, popping back up about fifty feet away off to my right. I got my camera out and did my best to keep in one spot while I watched him. Any time I raised the camera, he would go under and come back up somewhere else. He fianlly got tired of this and left, but not before coming in closer one last time and making a splash with his tail about twenty feet away. I did manage to get one picture with the seal in it, although someone else looking at it would just have to take my word for it that the small dark indeterminate object in the water is in fact a seal.
