Solo Sail

A single sailboat

in the midst of Monterey Bay.

Unusual.

Normally, if there is one

there are many.

If the weather is right,

lots of boaters take advantage.

Taken 30 December 2015.

(which tells me...

we were inside El Torito restaurant

having our 43rd anniversary lunch)

Spotted this cruise ship in Monterey Bay

Basking Harbor Seals

Monterey, CA, July 2016

I admit this is not the most eye-popping photo of basking harbor seals ever.

I casually snapped this photo through a restaurant window with my phone.

One of favorite places to go out for a meal when we lived in Monterey was El Torito.

It offered good food, an amazing view of the Bay, and (wonder of wonders)

free parking.

The huge windows of El Torito always provided views of seals and sea gulls;

usually sea lions, cormorants, egrets, and sea otters;

occasionally dolphins and whales.
