Gordon West is everyones guru when it comes to HAM radio. Gordon was teaching a class at Balboa Yacht Club while we were there and asked me to do a Winlink (EMAIL via HAM Radio) demonstration. It was becoming old home week! Newport Beach – Californina

This large male sea lion decided he found a new home. He proudly displayed his new residence and defended it against would be intruders (other male sea lions). Most of the boats in Newport Bay that were on moorings had to have some kind of fencing or guards against this type of squatting or their vessels suffered the consequences. Think of his personal habits as being much like a horse in a corral……..
