Squid Dinner

Trying to take advantage of the warm weather, warm water, and after work daylight hours that all may not last much longer.

Hit the cove around 4:30. Didn't recognize anyone on shore but Janie was coming out of the water and introduced me to Tim, one of the regular late afternoon crowd. We decided to do a tour of the white stick buoys, but before we could get 20 yards from shore ran into a sea lion underwater munching on the back half of a big humbolt squid. The arms were already eaten, but from the tail I'd say it was at least 3' long when alive. Quite a site and glad it was not alive I hear they can be very aggressive.

Rest of swim was smooth and warm but not much visibility. I'm planning to try again on Wednesday and Thursday around 4:30 if anyone's interested.
