We did see a few sea otters on our trip… not enough, of course, and not close enough, but we saw a few.

We saw a total of maybe eight to ten otters, but only two of them relatively close. This is the best picture I got of one of them. I think he may have noticed us.

This guy was quite close. The sun was practically down (and the day was cloudy) by this time, so I didn’t have a lot of light.

I’m pretty sure this guy did catch sight of us.

He then skedaddled, quite rapidly. I don’t think Autumn even caught a glimpse of him before he left.
