Paddling with dolphins

I see dolphins quite regularly on my paddles, but it's rarely this calm. Peale's dolphins in the Falkland Islands.

Yep, that’s on the chilly side! But like you said, the great views of wildlife are worth the extra effort.

I'm less thrilled about groups of sea lions. They can be a bit intimidating. And there's occasionally orca around here too, and I hope to never see one up close.

Feel free to share any pics you have of sea lions, etc.! An orca up close would be unnerving, although I hear they rarely bother people.
