Jim wanted to go fishing again (after that fat one from yesterday!), so loaded up the dinghy and I joined him.
We cruised along the North cliffs, where he had luck the day before... but not today! We had a small harbor seal following our dinghy (and probably Jim's lure), but Jim called him enough bad names so he finally left us. We trolled all along the beach towards the South shore where there was more wind, but again, no halibut today.
Time to enjoy the beach again! We thought it would be nice to have champagne brunch on the beach, so supplied up and went back to our spot by the one elephant seal. Brunch consisted of mimosas and Cheez Itz...
But what a view!
We only saw two other people on the beach!
We figured we better get another shot of the two of us - Jim in his fishing hat and me in my Costa Rica hat!
Our young female elephant seal spent the morning with us again. We even went and sat behind some rocks for awhile and she lumbered over and took a look at us, as to check on us, then went and lumbered back to "her spot". If I could have figured out a way to get her on our boat, I think I would have brought her back to the harbor...
I was fascinated by her flippers and how she could use her appendages to scratch her head, back, eyes and more.
The wind was starting to come up, so we figured it was time to head "downwind" while it would still be a nice trip. Took a last look at the beach, then a few more shots of the elephant seals that have taken over the beach near the cliffs. 
Then headed back to the boat to get it ready for the afternoon trip "down island"!
