Just a little story about R5AY and Pup. I did a double shift Sunday at Turtle Bay from 1-7pm. It was so cool the pup ventured outside the lagoon in to what I thought
was high surf 1 to 2 foot waves. The pup headed further out then got washed back in and seemed to get stuck on the outer flat
reef with on coming surf. The mom was close by the whole time but when the pup cried out for help the mom came up from behind the pup and the pup climbed on her back..yes literally climbed on her back, up high in the center and the mom gave the pup a ride all the way to shore...She didn't just dump the pup in the
shallows but brought the pup all the way to the beach. I thought that was so amazing and cool.

Then later after the pup nursed it had got a clump of sand in one of it's eyes and left the mom in a hurry with only one eye open and scurried and undulated down the
the water to wash out it's eye. At first I could'nt figure out why the pup was in such a hurry. The pup look so panicky with sand in its eye...Like ayhhhh help I have sand in my eye. But after a quick shore rinse the pup gallumped back to mom.
Just another great seal day in paradise:)
