I was on the stern when I saw a little baby seal. This is actually the second time I've seen this seal. Of course it happened to be the exact moment I was dumping the card on my digital camera so I run back there with my phone. By this time the seal has seen me coming and has gone under.

...so I did what anyone in their right mind would do... I banged on the side of the hull with my hand and called, 'seal baby! come back seal babbbbyyy!'. The fact that no one saw me doing this is probably a good thing however; seal baby came back! He checked me out and I took a quick pick with my phone.

Fast forward to later in the afternoon - seal baby is back and sunning his (her) face. My camera is up and running and I start behaving like a paparazzi.

Seal baby was quite a ways out but, lucky for me he slowly started drifting towards my boat.

Doesn't he look blissed right out?

He kept getting closer and closer.

By this time Seal Baby is CLOSE.

....and then he spots me and opens his eyes....

I'm in LOVE.

I mean seriously, you gotta love this face.

I hope Seal Baby comes back for more adventures!

The guys on the boat think we should name the baby Lucille. Get it?

Here's to Seal Baby and the reminder to keep our faces to the Sun!
