Swimming lessons

 Pups are learning to swim. An adult female, already returned from her migration, rests in the water while a weaner climbs out.

Some get playful, like this one tossing around a piece of kelp.

 This lone pup ventures into the water while his brothers and sister sleep. No doubt he's joining the rest of the group already in the water.

High surf last week crashed against the rocks and rolled up on the beach, but these weaners are big enough to hold their own.
