Well we returned to the south harbor walk, this time walking out a bit further to the east. A very pleasant walk while the town is full of refugees from the Central Valley heat. Hiking were Jeff, Diana, Eric, Charlene, Sky, Fran, Deb, Sam, John, Shari, Nancy, Tom, Pat, Leon, Toni, and Joe. This walk is a good one for hot days, as there is plenty of shade. We did see the osprey nest again - the same one we saw the last time we did this hike. Along the way we saw four harbor seals trying to sun themselves on a floating dock, but when John pulled out his camera three of them fled into the river. See the last one remaining below. It was interesting that the juvenile harbor seals, three of the four, looked larger than the one adult. Have some sympathy for the moms that fed them so well as pups!
Afterwards eight of us had a very good (and cheap) breakfast at Denny's. A few members took advantage of their AARP 15% discount bringing the price down even further.
John again provided pictures. The first is the aforementioned harbor seal, a juvenile.
