Great work, Mike!
We were at that same spot for Hurricane Bill. My son got his picture taken with the Channel 5 weather guy.
There were a bunch of seals then too but in the water. Probably 40+ in two different groups.

NIIIICE pix, as always, Mike
do you suppose that look of "where are we supposed to swim, NOW?" frightful appeal from the little varmint with sharks' fins poignantly circling in the same shot has anything to do with he and his brethren beaching themselves for as long as is possible? i say bring on the HIGH tides and let JAWS and nature thin out the herd!!
better still, would be for them to move the frick away from the Cape!! with my apologies to Jimmy~~~

Great shots as always, Mike...  ...definitely looks like a dorsal behind the cute widdle seal
I remember seeing that footage you got of the tiger shark some time ago where you had to use the boat over you as cover...  ...can't be a real comfortable situation... 
Probably smart not to enter the water in proximity to the seal herd - you wouldn't want a great white to mistake your profile as a particularly tasty piniped
Or maybe find yourself the object of a bull seal's ...uhhhh....amorous advances, either...  |

As you know Mike, the seals don't need to swim faster than sharks, just faster than you.
Hope you had a great time on Vacay. I was in sangwhich too, would've met up for an ale had I known. |

I think it's just a bird. With the angle of the sun I'd think a fin would be reflecting more light and the perspective isn't right.
Great pics...
