I forgot to journal about a recent trip to Martinez (weekend before last). It was a gorgeous (albeit windy) spring-like day and everything was crystal clear. We saw the usual gulls (western), avocets, western grebes, etc. But this time we also saw a sea lion off the side of the jetty. It was pretty cool! Usually there are a bunch of people fishing out there. A fisherman came along and told us that the sea lion likes to hang around when they are fishing and steal the fish right off the line! What a clever bugger! It was fun to watch and the boys were enthralled. Andy was making roaring and growling sounds at it after hearing it was a sea LION. Silly boy!
We love going out there, there's always so much to see and you can see the train tracks, small craft in the marina, large ships, and TWO bridges: Carquinez and Benicia. It's also a nice spot to go in the summer because it's windy and cooler than the surrounding areas. It's one of our favorite local landmarks.
