'Ole Kulua

Notes from Pete's Journal

Large groups (named 'rafts, colonies, pods) of Sea Lions have commandeered the landings in Astoria, Oregon. (Not far from our Whidbey Island moku; and part of the Pacific rim. ) All the dock space along the Columbia River fill with Sea Lions, and are expected to travel up river hunting live food. Why the uncommonly high numbers? The unusually warm ocean temperatures are being cited. Global warming?!

Warm and sunny with a nice breeze; maybe in the 60's

One of the large resident Madrona is in full bloom in town (Langley)
