As it we're in a bull market (PUMP IT UP), I got a paddleboard! (Yep, prepping for a wallet accident, iykyk ;)

Took it out today, despite the cold & boy did we have an adventure! We entered a cove to a herd of sea lions... my fear level bumped to the same level as when a huge bear came out of the bushes at me last summer.

Ofc this goober fell in in the excitement (& knocked my camera in the water - yay for straps). He got hoisted in & we hightailed it outta there!

Felt so exposed on the ocean being so close to a pod of sea puppies (sea lions are BIG), despite being fairly close to shore. I can't imagine coming across orcas on a paddleboad! 🥂

To more adventures this summer, but perhaps a bit more tame 😆

The dog going nuts is hilarious

It was STRESSFUL. I'm like, dude, we need to keep a low profile to not attract them to us in case they're territorial 🤦‍♀️. But he kept barking, & then he fell in, then I've never paddled so hard in my life to get us outta there 😅

Ya I feel that, there are so many situations where it is stressful when you can’t calm down the pup

🥰

Nice! You're in my backyard too. 🤙⚡️💯 So many good spots to paddle around. Love the adventurous spirit.

land pup vs sea pup lol

Feels safer when land pup is on land 😆

🥴

I was sea kayaking in Alaska once and some whales came and swam with us for a bit. Awesome…yet super intimidating/humbling.

Incredible experience! Humbling for sure

I'm hopeful for a whale encounter - every few years a while comes into Howe Sound, 🤞🏼

I love that area….Hwy 99

So many amazing hikes and views!

Went swimming with sea lions in Peru. When you lay relaxed on your back, they come bumping your ass with their backs 😂

WHOA WHOA WHOA, WHAT! That's really neat!! I saw them last year in Peru too, but we were on a tour boat and no one thought to jump in 😆
