Sunday 11/27/22 - 14 seals hauled out, 55 degrees, SW 10 to 15, cloudy, 1430. A slow developing seal scene today, as the stiff southwest wind held the tide up in the bay. The seals were unsettled, probably due to an approaching frontal rainstorm, and showed marked reluctance to haul out for the second day in a row. In the hour and a half we were there, the number of seals present only increased from 8 to 14, but there was occasional breaching and tail slapping observed, which gave the impression that some seals were frustrated that the rocks were still mostly submerged. We left about an hour before low tide to avoid the rain, slightly disappointed that the Thanksgiving weekend seal watching was not as good as we had hoped.
