Sorry folks, but I think someone needs to put a contract out on this seal. Weird thing is, I'll bet it's not just one problem seal. Oh god (speaking of god), Can you think of a worse time for the "hundredth monkey" thing to kick in? Could be that nature in some weird way, has realized that we are a pestilence and have decided to mobilize, next the Orcas and the Black bears (won't that be fun?). I guess I'll just consider myself lucky I do most of my paddling in lower puget sound where the seals are so gagged with diesel fuel they don't have the energy to attack.
