This morning when we woke up there was a sea lion sitting on the back of our boat. It almost felt like he knew we were leaving and wanted to come with us!
Yesterday, on our last full day, we were still seeing new things. Finally had a chance to see the Red Footed Boobie—bonus...she was on a nest with her chick. And, the snorkelling with the sea lions was the best yet. There were so many we didn’t even know where to look. On to more adventures. You are Always in My Prayers. Love Mom.

The male makes a barking noise, the pups and females make growling sounds. The one on our boat jumped on the low back part of our boat. I think he slept there all night. We gave them a respectful distance, though the pups kept trying to come closer because they are curious. A large male might bite if it felt it was being threatened. (One snorkeling trip had to be cancelled because the males in the area had been too aggressive).

Was the sea lion your friend? And was he big?

I thought all the sea lions were my friends but I kept my distance from the really big ones. The alpha males can be grouchy.

Are red footed boobies more rare than blue footed boobies?

On the islands we went to they were more rare.
