Yesterday I watched these nippers training in the enclosed waters of the harbour (it was quite windy, and probably too much for these young sailors). Today was calmer, and so it was safe to venture into the "open" waters of Monterey Bay. Here they are towed out to the course.
And a commercial fishing boat comes in to unload its catch.
The Monterey marina. The dark sky is fog rather than cloud.
These birds decided the beach made a good place for a rest.
While these birds preferred a somewhat higher location - the roof of a restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf.
