| Sea Lions, Champion Island. We were
dropped by the panga (dingy) and drifted along a wall. The sea lions followed the
panga as soon as they saw us, and we had sea lions everywhere. A raft of 30 to 40
sea lions played with a rope hanging from the back of the panga, while others swam over
and around us. When the water is cold, the sea lions in a raft lie on their backs
and stick their flippers up in the air to warm them. Nikonos V, 15 mm f/2.8 Nikkor, 2 Ikelite 150 strobes, f/5.6, 1/90,
