We have a ton of smoke from the Camp Fire up in Paradise coming down to Monterey. Visibility is less than 500 feet right now. Good thing we’ve got an air purifier for our room and masks for going outside.
Doing a Little Boat Diving
We did a little boat diving off of our friend’s boat in Monterey Bay.
On a surface interval next to a bull kelp forest.
It’s nice having a dry suit here.
All that bull kelp.
Seal Beach Among Other Things
There is a nice sunrise in Monterey today.
There are lots of seals on Seal Beach today at the Hopkins Marine Station. They’re fun to watch go in and out of the surf.
Looking north toward Lovers Point.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is just on the other side of Hopkins Point from Seal Beach.
Looking over toward Marina on the other side of the bay.
There are lots of birds on these rocks by the Seal Beach.
