: Our first stop on land after 3 days at sea. There was some unusual weather, I guess, as it must have been close to 50 degrees and sunny. We took the "strenuous" hike to the lake which involved walking up a gentle incline for about 15 minutes. All kinds of seals and babies were hanging around on the beach.
