Our daughter-in-law's parents invited us on a Harbor boat ride last weekend. In our City, the area with homes on the water is called The Keys. Our hosts bought a builder-grade and altogether boring house a few years ago when they retired, and turned it into a lovely home. They enjoy lots of cruises on their power boat and watching all the wildlife there.
We went all the way out to the harbor mouth. Our man-made harbor is bordered by long jetties on the beach side, and a large breakwater on the seaside. Pelicans spend a lot of time fishing and resting there.
It was an overcast day but it seems the fishing was good.
This Pelican was being hounded by several seagulls while trying to consume a catch.
Back in the dock area of the marina, some sea lions were playing King of the Dock, jumping up and knocking each other off. Well, some of them were--the big brown one in the back of the above pic complained about the noise and activity but didn't join in the play :).
We watched the five sea lions playing for some time, before heading back into the Keys and home. It was a lovely couple of hours getting our Vitamin Sea! Our mutual grandson is nearing his 2nd birthday in August. Hard to believe it has been two years since we were all awaiting his arrival! We're so glad to have joined families.

Looks like a delightful day on the water, and enjoying the local residents. :)
Sounds like you had a lovely day out on the water.
What fun! Pelicans, seagulls and sea lions! Not to mention a day of cruising!
