That could have ended very differently for the Sea Lion.

At some point, you can only lay out so many cables of anchor chain. I'm guessing she was anchored bow and stern to come in sideways like this? Otherwise she got super lucky to hit broadside on (and so did the dock). Really, if you can't be in a sheltered cove, you want to be at sea in conditions like this and get some sea room and take on the wind and waves on the best possible terms.

A sciency sea shanty about covid-19 vaccine has been added as a related post - related requested by eric3579 on that post.

I hear kayakers taste pretty good with a little Kelp sea salt. Kelp salt is a great replacement of regular table salt.

But.....Bruhathkayosaurus might have been between 40–44 m (131–144 ft) in length and 175–220 tonnes in weight according to some estimates.
Certain rorquals from the Pliocene possibly rivaled the size of modern blue whales.

It's worth considering there were likely many yet undiscovered large marine animals who either were Chondrichthyes (cartilagenous, no bones) or lived in deep seas where any skeletal remains are still hidden.

Aaaaahahaha!!!!!!

No Bob, a Trumptard is not a republican. A climate change/science denier is not a Republican. A war hawk is not an old school republican. A draft dodger who calls those who serve America losers and suckers is not a Republican. You are a ReTrumpican, not a Republican.

Fiscal conservatism is the core of Republicanism, and the antithesis of big spender Trump, the nation's biggest loser, who made zero money at all 10 out of the last 15 years (taxes leaked, so sad), and less than my wife and I did at least two of the remaining five, paying at most $750 in income tax...unless he's a total tax cheat too....and it's looking like he's actually hundreds of millions in debt, some to mobsters, some, like $100 million, to Uncle Sam. THAT is not a Republican, Bob, it's a failed business man, convicted fraud and con man, and soon to be boat anchor in the Black sea.

Humboldt Bay inlet can get worse at tide change. Add in high seas and forget it.

What you didn't see after the video ends is that the orca bumped the boat and John fell into the water where he was eaten.

The otter put the boat into gear and high-tailed it out of there. The positive that came out of it was the otter opened Animals for the Ethical Treatment of People (I'm sure you've heard of it), which has been rescuing humans from the jaws of sea creatures ever since.
