He jumped into the
sea and to my relief I didn't slip on the wet rocks (maybe
not the best place to do it) and become a fur seal chew-toy.
So while I was better on the
land, quicker and more agile, he of course was master in his
element and I couldn't even go there in what I was wearing
as despite it being a relatively warm sunny day, the sea
temperature was at about 0C.
So he swam about a bit,
probably trying to entice me into the water in a way that
worked with his seal-mates when they get each other to play
chasing games in the sea. I read this picture as a "well you
couldn't even catch my tail flippers" type of message, then
waving the flippers at me as a taunt.
