August 12 - Oak Bay Paddle

Wow - what a fantastic day.  I didn't want it to end at all.  First of all, launching was a breeze.  The ocean was gorgeous and calm and it was just the greatest kayaking I can ever remember.  I love kayaking in lakes and rivers and harbours but there's something very special about being in the ocean!

We saw a couple crabs and fish, but the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the seals!  A mom-seal and about 4 pups.  Two pups stayed up on the rocks laying out in the sun with their mom and two stayed in the water very near by playing around.

We got pretty close taking pictures and the mom got in the water but only for about a minute.  As soon as we backed off she got back up on the rocks.
