| Comments: Wow... Seals very playful, like bright fins and lights! First grabbed fin & crawled up my leg, then went to visit Evan and his mask. Found a couple lying quietly in the kelp, they left when we got close. Went down to other end of island, crawled up the rock with the seals, which caused them all to jump in and swim. evan went off over a small reef, suddenly had a seal at my feet. Couldn't get the camera up fast enough! Very curious, very friendly. Remember: don't make any sudden/aggressive moves, extend your hand in a fist to avoid having fingers nipped. Find seals & just sit - they are so curious they will investigate you! Keep your eyes open - they can be hiding in the kelp, creeping up behind you, or just swimming quietly along with you.... | ||
