De Anza College Monterey kayak trip October 2016

Just as we launched our kayaks an otter surfaced among us, eating a crab. We also saw multitudes of noisy sea lions and more egrets than previous trips.

As we hiked in the afternoon at Point Lobos, deer wandered across the trial, ate a little and came back across the trail, posing for photographers.
