We saw a sea lion in the water near cattle point( exit into the straight) then passed a rock with a number of them, including a huge bull. We read I our guide that a bull sa lion is larger than any bear.
As we neared PT, we saw a strang flotilla coming towards us. Then a coast guard boat rapidly approach us. It had the dressed in black crew with a large machine Gun at the bow; we were in formed we were within the security safety zone for the warship. In the middle of the flotilla was a nuclear submarine! There were 2 large support vessels with outriders in front and back. We counted a total of 7 ships not including the sub. Prettying exciting for the kids( and us).
Then a wind built up and we could sera fog bank bearing down on us which caught up to us the temperature dropped, wind picked up and viability dropped to about a mod or less. Then as we approached the boat basin it lifted.
There is a lot to do and see and we won't get to it all before we leave on Saturday. ( Friday is a layover day here tow air out the front and strong winds on Friday )
Nice surprise to have a call with Nora( and Leah and Neil 😊 befor dinner.
