On a different day this one frolicked with us for a short time 
He came toward us.....
...and went under our zodiak in the opposite direction
Soon after this first visit a zodiak spotted one that was hunting a shag.
We are not sure if it was the
same seal, so we motored on over. The
water was rough so photography was challenging. 
Our zodiak got there in time to watch him thrash the shag
The shaking was so violent that sometimes all we could see was water spray 
He shook it until he skinned it and the meat was available. This is the shag's breast muscle and wing.
When he was satisfied with his meal preparation eating commenced
When he approached us we decided discretion is the better part of you know what and we hi-zodiaked it out of there!
