If you zoom in on this one, you’ll see that there are lots of folks reeling in sardines at the very moment this picture was snapped. Coincidence?? Nooo – there are still a lot of sardines around the wharf. They are hiding from the seiners. Relative to the seiners, the sea lions and pelicans and cormorants and dolphins and people fishing on boats and on the wharf and all the other critters up and down the water column are no match at all.

There was *lots* of wildlive action on the area of the marina today dolphins galore and many of them were getting air jumping out of the water. It was really something to behold.

The only other site was an ominous one – the hovering seiner boats have now officially graduated to “lurking”. We would like to imagine that the fact that they can’t set their nets in the marina gives OUR sardines some protection, but these guys have pretty big nets and lots and lots of time. So we’re just left with hoping they leave something for us.
