More fur seals. I couldn't get decent photos of the New Zealand fur seals because they were mostly around the point. In the cove, the water was pretty calm, but around the point, the swells were around 4 meters. Made for some tough photography. When we got back at the end of the tour, the tides had come in a bit, so getting out without getting soaked was a bit tricky. Most of us failed at this. I was standing on the jetty when a wave came in - it was about knee high. It took 3 days for my shoes to dry out.
