We got back to Faraway on Monday night after a visit to the bar for a few local Pilseners. Ian went to the stern to tie up the dinghy when he was startled by a loud coughing sound. He peered over the stern to see a sea lion lazing on the back of the transom with it's bright eyes staring back at him. We didn't have the heart to chase it away as it obviously needed a rest. We went to bed and could hear it coughing most of the night. In the morning we got up early and to our surprise another sea lion had taken up residence on the back of our yacht. They didn't want to budge so we left them there for the day. When they did leave the mess and smell on the transom was incredible. It looked like the sea lions had brought up half the mud from the sea bed and eaten a few fish as well. It was my job the next day to clean up the mess. Oh the joys of sailing.
