Last week we had a Monk Seal visit us at the beach that I live at on the north shore of Maui.
My friend Tracy Harrap was attempting to launch her windsurfer as the seal was trying to come on to the rocky shore.
They had a delightfully playful little encounter that was miraculously captured by Tracy's friend Ellen.
Tracy sent the images to me in an informal email and I am posting the text in the message just as I received it.
Tracy wrote,"Olaf.... here are those photos of the seal and me that I told you about."
Tracy also wrote,"if its not a dolphin its a seal.... pretty funny..... he came really close to me.. i wanted to give it a hug!" but instead i said hello gourgous and gave it a playfull splash.... in return i got splashed back...(in photo) that was the funny part and the face expression it gave me when i did that... and of course my face says it all. I wanted out.. it wanted in ...who was in the way?.... the playfull splash may have been taken as..... "hey you..you in my way.... and the splash back... "what?..who u think you are... I want in"
