Our 3 hour paddle today was filled with heartwarming harbor seal encounters and exciting kelp discoveries. The adult female seals curiously nosed around our boats with their adorable, tiny pups, and we made a bull kelp horn out of an already detached piece of kelp, so as not to negatively impact the seals' primary feeding habitat. After modeling how to blow the horn, each guest took a turn and picked it up immediately! Usually it takes people a few tries, but these guests knew what they were doing from practice with the vuvuzuela, a South African instrument used traditionally to summon distant villagers to attend community gatherings, but used more commonly today to make lots of noise at football matches :) Bull kelp vuvuzuelas? I like the sound of that!
