Bachelorette Party on the water

Lucky me, I got to guide Wei (bride to be next July) and her friends Jenny, Michelle, Laura, Marcia, Lisa, and Linda on a tour to the caves. The waves at the beach were about 2 to 3 foot high, which was pretty exciting, but by using the "assisted-launching" technique (meaning with Cyril we stood behind each boat and helped going through the waves, one boat at a time to avoid capsize), they all got through very well.
After some practise with the turns, we started our adventure to the caves.
The swell was big at time, and I knew that we wouldn't be able to get inside the Clam unfortyunately, but we cruised along the cliff looking at the Pelicans and Cormorants, we could hear the Sea Lions close by.
We stopped in front of the Clam to take a few pictures, and then went outside the reserve to check out the Sea Lions on the West side of The Cove. On our way, we saw a young sea lion in the kelp bed, and on the way back we spotted a pintail (giant kelp, see picture with Wei holding it).
At the landing, some landed dry, and others... wet!
The temperature of the water is getting warmer by the day, no wetsuit today, it was great! If it keeps going this way, we will soon see the Leopard Sharks.
