Today I took my second major scooter ride. This time I got the new GoPro cam to work. I saw TWO seals on a rock right offshore from Glen Cove Waterfront Park, so I took a special close-up video and pictures after I stopped for a bit and took a separate video with my phone. The strange thing is that I rarely see a seal or sea lion when I row with the whaleboat team in the mornings, and even when we do, they’re usually swimming by, sometimes in pairs. Shando thinks that’s because they lay out more in the middle of the day when there’s more sun and they’re looking for food in the mornings.

The scooter ride video is highly edited to take out the slower, more boring, and repetitive parts. I love my neighborhood and our proximity to the water, the Glen Cove Waterfront Park, and all the cool things you can see between the Carquinez Strait, bridges, nature, and the gorgeous hills.
