Caption Contest(!)
Welcome back to Caption Contest(!). Seals sure do get around… This month we share a photo of Angela Goodwin getting ready to round the leeward mark on the Cal 20 Greyhound, taken by Volker Corell during Cabrillo Beach YC’s “Wet Wednesday,” on June 30, 2021.

The first two boats rounding the mark have an emergency meeting with the protest committee!
I need crew and have good sandos, slide on over.
Always looking for additional crew
The foul was obvious. Protests were filed, and all three seals were disqualified for not rerounding the windward mark.
Animal lovers stop to feed the sea lions
Seal: Hey Cal 20 crew, we happen to know the first boat to this leeward mark, hit it and seriously bent it, and they didn’t do a penalty turn. BTW, please ask them when they intend to fix our buoy.
The seal Uber-“Well, John thanks for the fish and chips but my ride’s here..”
Racers anxiously round buoy 11 for the coveted seal of approval.
Who ordered from Slooper Eats?
Cabrillo Beach YC has a VERY experienced and enthusiastic race committee, but their committee boat could use some maintenance.
What happened to Sammy, our 4th lookout? He let these interlopers get too close!
See, I told you this would be a great place to watch the racing!
If you this it’s hard to get tickets to a Taylor Swift concert, try being a seal angling for front row seating at the turning mark!
I always wanted a green stripe.
HEY! We’re sleeping here!
All participants rounding the leeward mark received special citations from US Fish & Wildlife Service!
Hey, not in my backyard, you don’t!
Ask not for whom the bell tolls !
Honey, Door Dash is here, make sure the sardines aren’t still frozen this time.
You bumped that seal’s nose! Do your 360!
Jump on we need more railmeat!!
There’s always someone crashing our party.
Pardon me… do you have any gray Poopon?
What’s all this about a pimped audience?!
.
.
.
oh, PINNIPED audience.
neVER mind
First that giant ship damaged our buoy, now this. What a week we’re having!
We could never get a real lighthouse keeper for ten pounds of cod a week
Buoy 11 residents “don’t hit my home again”
Photo evidence that, with the right sails and crew, and enough time, you can pass a stationary object with a Cal 20’
The crash was inevitable. “Bouy! S*T*A*R*B*O*A*R*D!!!” yelled the crew, but too late, as the skipper was red/green color blind. His fate was sealed.
No, the S.I.’s were NOT in Braille!
Seal Team 11 posting guard to protect the damaged buoy from possible bow strikes.
Race Committee gets close and personal!
Atmospheric River? Its more like a damned atmospheric freeway!
