World Oceans Day is tomorrow!
What will you do to celebrate?
I've been enjoying the ocean's bounty, fishing and spending time with friends on their boat. This was actually yesterday, but we went out with the hopes of catching some salmon. My friends had set some crab pots as well, so we checked on those first:
a couple legal Dungies (Cancer. oh, excuse me, I mean Metacarcinus magister) = crab cakes!!
Then things took a turn. The engine stopped working, so we were a bit stranded while we called various dads for advice. In the average time, we were pretty closely to Amalga, so the ladies and I figured we could paddle for shore. I trust we were really making progress!

Andthen things got ugly!
"Oh, hi sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus). How are you?"
(My husband was all excited since he studies these mammals.)
"Hey, you humans! I detest your paddle! What are you doing putting it in my home!?!?"
(Photo credit to my husband on this one!)
"Sorry, we're simply trying to get to Amalg. AHHHHH!"
"GROWL! SNARF!"
"It wanted to get in the boat!"
"It wanted to prick some man flesh!"
Seriously, this sea lion hated when Courtney would paddle. It charged the boat several times. Luckily, after we stopped paddling (as to pacify the sea lion beast), the locomotive was miraculously fixed (through some tinkering and the fog of gas fumes). And so, our brave group headed back to safety, alive and in one piece (or five, I guess).

The End
