Another trip to the sea lion colony led to the most amazing interactions yet with one pup staying with us for 30 minutes just wanting to be stroked and even cuddled. That was in between gently biting our fins, Johnny's arms and even Em's bum! This was as well as a group of about 15 pups coming over to Indian Summer and frolicking around, biting and sniffing the hull, even shooting up and down having a look at the anchor! One was so taken by the keel, being stroked and sitting on Emma's lap that it stayed around for 20 minutes to get its fill.
We finished the day by having a great dive in a cave running through one of the islands where 6 sea lions of various ages played and swam all around us. FAB!
Our last day in the La Paz area was to finish on another high note when we dived the Salvatiera wreck. Despite trying and failing to catch fish around this artificial reef no less than 3 times we were astonished to see the profusion of fish life all over it. Huge schools of trevally, snapper, bait fish, loads of moray eels and more! A great way to end our days here. It was now time for Mazatlan, only 230 miles and 42 hours sailing, woohoo.
