(Many getting close enough to splash me as they flipped over in dives...)  Without further ado...here&#039;s the best I can do..lol.  <br />

The last one you probably can&#039;t make them all out, but there are six seal heads in the shot. <br />
<br />
During the paddle, we also scared up a bunch of gulls....<br />

All-around it was another good day in Oregon...<br />

We headed down to Tenmile Creek beach and this is what it looked like yesterday....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="tb_img" src="/content/users/sbrugger/0706/TenmileCentre4244.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="image" /><br />
<br />
After seeing that...we decided it may not have been the best day to put in there.  So, off we went to our usual beach.  Unfortunately...it didn&#039;t look much better...however, I decided to give it a shot anyway.<br />
<br />
Here I am in full wetsuit glory...lol.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="tb_img" src="/content/users/sbrugger/0706/LoadingUp4626.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="image" /><br />
<br />
So..then I decided to head out....here&#039;s one of me (you can just see me out there with my paddle raised) cresting a wave...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="tb_img" src="/content/users/sbrugger/0706/Over14832.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="image" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Needless to say..with the way the surf was, I was only out there for about half an hour before I got sick of battling the ocean.  <br />
<br />
So..we headed home...after feeling slightly dejected, I decided we should head out to the bay and see if I could get some seal shots before sunset.  Of course, the second the seals found out I had a camera in hand, they all became incredibly camera shy.  This is the best pic I could get (you can just see the little seal head if you look along the water surface right in the centre of the pic...)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="tb_img" src="/content/users/sbrugger/0706/Seal25927.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="image" /><br />
<br />
And here&#039;s a second...the silhouette is the seal&#039;s head as he cruised next to my boat...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="tb_img" src="/content/users/sbrugger/0706/Seal30245.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="image" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, after getting those &quot;fabulous&quot; shots, I decided to get grouchy and put the camera back in the dry bag and continue my paddle.  And also, of course, the second I did that, the seals were more than happy to get within 5 feet of the boat and start frolicking....stupid mammals.  I&#039;ll get them yet....lol.  If it kills me, I&#039;ll have good seal pics up here in the near future..lol.  <br />
<br />
After all that, I decided to snap one last pic of the sunset over the point and call it a night.....(not the best sunset..the fog/mist was rolling in and the sun was setting over the point...but it&#039;ll do until I get a nice sunset pic from Ona Beach...;) )<br />
<br />
Cheers from Oregon....<br />

<br />
The surf yesterday wasn&#039;t that spectacular...4-5 ft max...nothing overly fun to ride until you got out past the surf line and into the swells....I&#039;ll try and grab a couple of shots on a windier/wavier day...<br />
<br />
<br />
I&#039;ll grab a couple of the seals this afternoon too when I&#039;m out and about...<br />
