Swimming with Sharks

So we took some time off on Wednesday (thx for the holiday present Mer) to visit some of nature’s beauty in our own backyard – La Jolla Cove.

We kayaked off La Jolla Shores beach to The Caves, snorkeled with sea lions, various bass, mackeral & baitfish and bright orange Garibaldi. Then we cruised back into shore, hiked down the beach, waded out a tad and swam with Leopard sharks. Very cool.

The Leopards were beautiful.  Spotted, 4-5′ in length and looking for Mer. They swam thru us and around us – vy docile. The water was a little murky, but they were within a cpl of feet. Very cool.  We felt like we could reach out & touch them. They actually brushed by us a cpl of times.  We also saw rays and guitarfish squirming along the bottom.
