A SEA LION INVASION

The "protected" sea lions in our harbor are becoming quite a nuisance. As evidenced here in the photo, these huge mammals love to sun themselves on the docks and swim-steps of boats around the marina. Recently, upon our return from a 7-night trip, our boarding dock steps were missing. Upon further investigation I noticed the sea lions had made our slip their home while we were away. They must have pushed our boarding steps into the water to make more room for themselves. Thank God our swim-step is a tiny one!
