Well, at least judging from …
… How one of the young ladies looked from 100 feet or so off shore, I could easily have been obtained. On the other hand, based on how I might appear up close, she may have lost any interest…
Definitely could see that …
… Over by the Dumplings, from your friends house towards land.
I was off Bull Point (found this map below), just about north of where the #5 is on the map, past that large rock, heading south toward what I believe is called Fort Cove.
Thanks for the tip on theft at the landing. There were a lot of people there … a whole diving school it looked like. I have locks on my Thule rack.
Interesting …
… Water in motion can be powerful and hard to spot sometimes.
I did see a few “boils” around. I’d describe that as what looks like a roughly smooth circular area, noticeable in contrast to the ripples and chop around it, with the water moving outward from the center in a kind of boiling action. I suspect these pop up from current and wave action on the topography below. Some I saw were large, like the length of the boat.
However paddling through these had no effect that I could tell on how the boat behaved, just water motioning in a different direction.
Dolphins in the bay …
Looks like some have been spotted last fall and this year in the bay. I’ve been on the bay since I was a kid, parents always had a boat. Never saw a dolphin, but have seen a few sharks now and then, and seals. Would be neat to see a dolphin.

Could it have been a…
diver? They're probably the most numerous finned creatures of any size around there in August.
The occasional Mola mola has been spotted in the bay, too. It got warm early this year.
