Forgive me for telling the following very silly story. I suppose I like this short story because it happens to be true.
As always, please follow the captions…
A beautiful day on Shelter Island and kayakers approach the boat ramp area.A fisherman has arrived on a boat and he’s tossing leftover bait to pelicans and gulls.And look who else is tagging along–it’s Wally the sea lion!Wally is looking for a free meal, himself. A large fish would be very nice!Wally spots some new arrivals coming into the little boat ramp area.It’s the kayakers! Wally greets everyone and quickly looks things over.Some curious, sociable mammals (and a few birds) enjoy a moment together.
The fisherman told me the California sea lion’s name is Wally. He told the kayakers the same thing. So it seems his name must be Wally!

I had lunch at the Bali Hai on Shelter Island a little over a week ago, and we must have seen Wally frolicking in the bay. We watched him while we ate our lunch. It was a glorious day to be there. Loved this post, DAF

It was probably Wally or one of his pals!

It was a fun story to tell, even if it wasn’t terribly dramatic!
