As soon as the anchor holds, we are approached by two sea lions. First they play with each other. But then they are curious and enjoy diving under SuAn again and again. But we have to re-anchor and one sea lion is playing in the turbulence caused by our propeller.
After finding a better anchorage, we soon get a visitor again. That male is not as friendly as the other two. It swims around our boat and dives under SuAn many times. We hear the bubbles caused by its breathing between our keels. Occasionally Mr. Sea Lion tells us, that it is his territory by making loud noises and making himself very big. But eventually he gives up. We better stay on board. That bay belongs to them.
