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...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

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...
