The headline in the Bay Crossings said "the seals are back"! Well, no, they are not back at Pier 39 - only about 300 out of 1700 are back there. This is just a small part of a pack that showed up in Moss Landing, at least a couple hundred. They were frolicking and making their honking sounds, swimming and eating in the channel and probably wondering why they didn't go to Moss Landing sooner. The former tenants in the fishing boat harbor are also back on the dock, trying to maintain the fact that they were there first. Otters breed in the small estuary and great herds (?) of pelicans fly down channel swooping out to feed. There is a small beach where we can run the dogs, carefully as a lot of other people know about it. These dog run beaches are like gold. Years ago, when we first came to the Bay area, Moss Landing was a very funky place with yards full of antiques and two streets of falling down buildings. It is now a place of bed and breakfasts, a KOA trailer park and a lot of real antique stores. It was fun to explore - now we hit the fruit stand and run the dogs wondering how this place became tourist central for people and seals.
