This afternoon Bern and Grace walked over to Moturata Island at low tide. At low tide the sand spit is exposed, allowing intrepid explorers a small window of opportunity to visit this little island just off Taieri Mouth.
Or, in Grace's case, even the less intrepid of explorers. Especially those who are scared the tide will suddenly come in and they will be forced to stay the night on the island. However, only the adventurous get to see beautiful seal pups.
But even the adventurous sometimes forget the golden rule of seals and sea lions - NEVER get between them and the water. Which is exactly what happened with this fellow.
Resulting in Grace telling Mummy all about how the big seal started 'running' at her and Daddy, so Daddy picked her up, ran very fast and hid behind a rock. Hmm. Maybe not so intrepid after all.
